What Is The Dosage Of Rabipur For A Bite By A Stray Cat?
i got slightly bitten by a stray cat. It is a small puncture and the blood remained in the surface, i.e it didn't bleed. I took a dose of rabipur and a tetanus injection. Do i need to take any more dose of rabipur (the cat looks very healthy and normal)?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The current exposure is a risky one and it falls in category 3. Hence, a complete course of Rabipur needs to be completed along with the local wound care.
As per WHO recommendations, One dose of the vaccine should be administered on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30.
Hence, kindly complete the course of the vaccine as per the prescribed schedule.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
