You likely do not need a full repeat rabies course; because you completed the 0,3,7,14,28 series with last dose on 8 Nov 2025 and the new bite was 13 Apr 2026 (~5 months later), standard guidance is a short booster rather than full PEP for most people.
⚕️ What this likely means
- Because you completed a full rabies vaccination series on 8 Nov 2025, a repeat full course is usually unnecessary; most guidelines recommend 2 booster vaccine doses on day 0 and day 3 instead of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) for previously vaccinated persons (post-exposure prophylaxis, PEP).
- If you are immunocompromised, uncertain about the earlier series completeness, or never received RIG when first treated, management may change.
🏥 Immediate steps (what to do now)
- Wash the wound immediately with soap and water for 15 minutes and apply an antiseptic.
- See a doctor urgently today with your vaccination record (dates: Oct–Nov 2025).
- Bring details about the kitten (health/vaccination, provoked vs unprovoked bite) and whether the animal can be observed for 10 days.
⚠️ Warning signs — seek emergency care
- Rapidly spreading redness, pus, fever, increasing pain, numbness, or neurological symptoms.
- If signs appear or you cannot access urgent care, call Apollo Emergency - 1066.
🩺 When to see a doctor / specialist
- See an infectious disease doctor or an emergency physician same day for wound care and to start appropriate PEP boosters (and decide about RIG based on risk).
🩺 Follow-up questions
- Was the bite deep or bleeding, and where on the body?
- Is the kitten available for observation and up-to-date on vaccinations?
- Do you have any immune‑suppression (medications, conditions) or uncertainty about the prior course?
