[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Cat is a known reservoir of rabies virus, and it can transmit rabies to the humans. Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you were bitten by a cat previously for which you have received the entire course of anti rabies vaccine. Once again you were bitten by cat recently. According WHO categorization of animal bite, you will be categorized into Re-Exposures. You should receive two doses of anti rabies vaccine on days 0 and 3. The vaccine should be taken to shoulder. Thank you.
