If your grandmother is not hiv positive or hepatitis b/c positive you don't need to worry. If you had a tetanus toxoid injection during past 5 years you don't need a dose. What you need to work upon is your weight because you are very obese.

Hello Sameer.
There is no need to take another anti ranies vaccination ,but I hope the wound was cleaned and disinfected properly.
However it is essential to take a Tetanus Toxoid shot within 48 hours of the injury.
Tetanus Toxoid vaccination is to be taken every 10 years to prevent any infection.

Hi, thanks for your query.
Since you already had taken a tetanus toxoid inj. Recently, there is no need for a booster dose. If the wound isn't too deep and it's clean get a regular dressing done or if manageable with a bandage, use it. If the wound is contaminated or the cut was by an unclean instrument chance of infection is present. In such a case it would be advisable to start a antibiotic like amoxicillin.

Significant time has passed and efficacy of rabies vaccine at this juncture is not 100%.
Still my advice is to take vaccine along with tetanus toxoid. If the cat is domestic and healthy you need not worry.

Hello!
mostly there is no risk because the food also must have been heated.
But usually also take a tetanus toxoid booster dose if not taken in past 5 years.
