Detail description ofcats, incidences, actual descrption of wound is necessary. When you mean scratch as injury due to nails. Inj tt is more important. If it is bite meaning body fluid comming in contact with your blood. Rabies vaccine is considered. You have been advised full post exposure dosage of idrv injections. You have already taken all except last one. Now complete it as planned and happily relax. No necessity to take new course for every new scratch at least for one more year.
