My cat bit me again today. I got the Abhayrab vaccine back in July, with the full series of 5 shots. Since the bite happened today, on November 19th, 2017, I'm wondering if I need to get vaccinated again, take a booster, or if I'm already protected and don't need to worry. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
