I'm a bit worried about a cat bite I got recently. Can you tell me how long the anti-rabies vaccination stays effective? And is it necessary to get a tetanus shot after a cat bite too? I've had some vaccinations before, but I'm not sure if I'm still covered. Would love your thoughts on this.

A full course of Rabies vaccination may provide protection for upto 5 years. Estimation of anti-rabies antibody level in the blood may help in this regard. A single booster dose of rabies vaccine once a year for those at high risk is harmless and may provide adequate protection. Tetanus vaccine is needed when there is open wound. But a single booster dose can be protective for upto 5 years.

I'm wondering why we should drink Becosules syrup. Is it actually good for our health? Are there any specific benefits of taking it? Can you give me some insight into this, please?
Missing a dose by 1-2 days is generally not a significant concern. You can take the 4th dose on the 17th. However, it's essential to consult with your doctor or the clinic where you received the previous shots to confirm and ensure you're protected against rabies.
