A member asked:

Do you have a rabies and need series of shots and vaccines when i was bitten by street cat 8 years ago and then i was also bitten by street cat 3-4 years ago but i ignored it. thanks!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing post: A primary post exposure rabies series 8 yrs ago would carry forward benefits for about 2 yrs. A bite by a rabid cat 3-4 yrs ago would likely not benefit from the prior treatment & repeat required. You would be dead from rabies by now if the cat were truly rabid.
