I am on Day 7 of Verorab due to a cat bite 7 days ago. It s an inside cat who s still fine as of this day so I m not much worried but to be safe, I had anti-tetanus and anti-rabies shots administered within 10 hours after it happened. So today, a few hours after my 3rd shot, I was trying to shoo away an outside cat in our garage who was in danger of being run over by our car and the cat bit me. The wounds aren t deep but there s still little blood which I immediately washed with soap and water, then alcohol and then applied Betadine.My question is, since I m currently in between doses of Verorab (2 more left), should I be taking new shots?
You are already taking Verona which is basically an antigen which sensitizes your immune system against rabies virus. You do not need any more precaution for the repeat cat bite as ongoing vaccination is enough to prevent rabies. Furthermore, you don't even need a tetanus toxic also for same reason. However, you might need a course of antibiotic to prevent local infection. You can consult your GP for further details.
