Talk to Infectious Diseases on Rabies Vaccine Needed?

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Male, 32 years old, Lahore

Exactly 10 years ago, I was bitten by a stray cat, it appeared well. Cat's canine teeth punctured my hand. A ER doctor told me that time that there's no need for rabies PEP. I only got Tetanus vaccine. Now I realise that it was a big mistake. I have come across few articles saying that rabies can go into incubation for years and even documenting rare cases after 20 years post bite. I am confused if I should get the rabies 4 shot vaccine now, or is this fear purely psychological?

After 10 years of bite it’s very rare to get rabies but still better to get rabies vaccine

Thankyou for responding sir. Which type or brand of vaccine is safest? And 4 or 5 doses necessary?
