Do I need to take rabies vaccine again after a cat bite (not sure if it was a bite or claw, not a deep wound but bleeding, with no two‑spot bite marks) on my leg near the ankle, given that I have already taken 3 doses and my last scheduled dose is on May 16?

Have a query?

You likely do not need to restart the rabies vaccination if you have already completed 3 doses and have the last scheduled dose upcoming, even with a new cat bite or scratch causing bleeding.
Continue your rabies vaccination as scheduled and consult the doctor who is managing your vaccination for confirmation and any wound care advice. If needed, they may reassess the situation and provide additional post-exposure prophylaxis based on the risk.
Seeing an infectious disease specialist or your family doctor is advisable for personalized advice and wound management.
