A member asked:
I just completed my rabies vaccine in jan3 & after that my cat has scratched me again 5 & bitten me butmycat is vaccinated shld i have booster shot?

No: Completion of the rabies series gives you an estimated 2 years of antibody protection for any exposures during that interval.Also, a domesticated cat with vaccinations up to date is not a risk.
