A member asked:

Woke up with a bleeding wound on my ankle. suspect a mouse bite. received prep 4 months ago for fear of bat contact. do i need a booster this time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: A mouse has little risk of transmitting rabies, but any animal bite should be examined and treated to prevent infection. I doubt you need a rabies booster, but do need to have wound examined, cleaned, and possibly treated with antibiotics, may need tetanus booster if not animal bite
