A member asked:
Advice needed on rabies shot. bitten by cat (no rabies signs) had vaccine booster. do i need rabies 5 shot regime treatment? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need info: If the cat is up to date with their rabies vaccine booster you would not need a rabies prophylaxis series. If not, the need would be guides by local health officials. Domestic cats are a low risk source in most areas unless wild. Local authorities also keep track of whether rabies is present in the region.
