Can Cat Bite During The Anti Rabies Vaccine Cause The Infection?
I got bit by a friendly "feral" cat 7 days ago. As a precaution I got the rabies vaccines. I only need one more vaccine next Sunday. If you get bit again during the vaccine process is that dangerous? I am gathering up some feral kittens to take to our no kill humane society and one scratched me. Thanks.
Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum. I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.
As a physician I would like to tell you that you need not to wory about the second cat bite and you should complete your vaccination as on schedule including a booster dose. It will help you build immunity and keep you safe from rabies.
I would also recommend that you should use Gloves r other protective materials while handling the kittens. Also if you contract any Wound, it should be cleaned thoroughly with soap and water and betadine lotion should be applied.
Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum. Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question. Have a nice Day.
