Anti rabies
One domesticated dog bit me on 24th May so i took Tt and anti rabies the very next day. And the next dose i took on the 3rd day but after that I skipped the other 3 doses as i had to travel.
Later this sunday i.e. 14th june one street cat has bitten me. I took anti rabies immediately the next day.
So should i start the anti rabies full course from initial i.e. 5 dose or take the rest 2 injections only?

WHO and national guidelines:
First Dog Bite on 24th May:
• You took Tetanus + 2 anti-rabies doses (Day 0 and Day 3)
• You missed the remaining 3 doses (Day 7, 14, 28) — this means your first vaccination course was incomplete and not considered protective.
Cat Bite on 14th June:
• You took 1 anti-rabies dose the next day (June 15)
Since the earlier course was not completed, you are not fully protected. So, after this new bite, you must:
Restart the full 5-dose post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) schedule:
• Day 0 (already taken June 15)
• Day 3
• Day 7
• Day 14
• Day 28
