Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Healthcare Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
Rabies post exposure profilaxis is an emergency and it should not be delayed. Profilaxis may be discontinued if the animal involved remains healthy for an observation period of 10 days.
In case of previously vaccinated persons, as your case is, the profilaxis differs.
First of all you should do a local treatment of the wound.
In this case there is no need for Anti rabies immunoglobuline.
You can follow one of these two schedules:
1. one dose on days 0 and 3. The dose is either 1 standard intra muscular dose (which may be 1 ml or 0.5 ml depending on
vaccine type ) or one intradermal dose of 0.1 ml per site.
2. a 4-site (one visit only) intradermal PEP consisting of 4 injections of
0.1 mL distributed on each arm and thigh or suprascapular region on days 0.
You can talk to your doctor to make a good decision of which schedule to use.
Beside this i would recommend to vaccinate the cat if you can, as it spends some days with you.
Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns or follow up questions, feel free to write again, I will be pleased to answer you again.
Take care,
Dr. Artiona
