A member asked:

If you recently had rabies boosters,is it necessary to get a booster again for new stray cat exposure if you forgot to wash wound?why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rabies vaccine: Hi, Washing the wound is not an effective way of preventing rabies, but can help prevent other types of infections you can get from an animal bite, but you should still consult with a local doctor as the risk for rabies can vary geographically. Here are the CDC recommendations we follow for rabies vaccination: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/rabies.html Hope this helps
