Dear Lybrateuser,
- tt should be preferably taken within 48 hrs of the wound, if the wound has been cleaned with antiseptic solution & healed then tt is not required
- complete the full course of anti rabies vaccine which you are taking.

Hello lybrate-user,
the way you are describing the wound is not clear,
if there is a scratch, I want to know if there is any abrasion, it will be better if you send me a pic so that I can see for myself.
Previously you got vaccinated 4 months ago, now if there is a scratch by an animal you will have to take anti rabies vaccine again. It is called as re-exposure prophylaxis.
Usually after 3 months of vaccination if there is a dogbite we recommend this re-exposure prophylaxis.

No. You should take only tt injection by consulting your doctor and take proper care about scratch injury. It may not be necessary to get booster vaccination, if you have already taken full course of 5 injections. However we always advise you to watch the dog for 10 days from date of bite for any illness or disappearance of dog. If normal as before no vaccination. If any such mishap to be extra cautious, take two doses with one week gap between two doses.

Dear Lybrateuser,
if you have cleaned the wound with running water & applied an antibiotic cream, you continue with the present course of vaccine & complete the remaining doses only, don't have to restart the schedule.
