Can I Continue The Anti-Rabies Shots After Bitten By Stray Cat?
Have been bitten by a stray cat. 3 days ago. Washed the affected area and cleansed with anti-septic. Consulted a physician and got tetanus and Anti-Rabies first shot within 8 hours of bite. Wound seems to be healing but today developed slight temperature. Can I continue the anti-Rabies shots while running a fever? Seems to have developed a slight sore throat. Taking 500mg anti-biotic too.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. There is nothing wrong in taking anti rabies vaccine while having minor illness like sore throat or cold. As you have been bitten by stray cat not wise to avoid even if you have serious illness. So you can go on with the vaccination.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
