Rabies Vaccine
I taken taken some many anti rabies vaccine in last 5 years but this last year on re exposure I took 3 doses in September(2024) and miss the 4th dose but later on I took the 4 th dose in November (2024).
But recently in January 2025 I notice a scratch mark without any bleeding and I am not sure that I got it from my kitten or not but I am so scared now Because the kitten is unvaccinated .
Please please suggest me something.
Do I need to restart my vaccination series?
Or due to taking unnecessary rabies vaccine can cause any major side effects?
PLEASE PLEASE REPLY ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
