[|Human|] I am a 26 year old male from India. I was badly scratched by a stray kitten several times on both my lower arms during the last four months that I kept it as a pet. My skin broke and blood used to come out. I even got bites but the cats teeth never really penetrated through skin. The time between getting scratched and cleaning was always ten to fifteen minutes which I did with soap and water. On the first day when the stray was found it was taken for sterilization. But I did not ask what medicines were given to it. Is there a chance of me getting any rabies infection? Last week I got a swelled left eye soon after which even my right eye started swelling. I even got a mild swelling on my tongue. I took tetanus injection and showed my eyes to eye doctor who gave me Ketorolac Tromethamine + Ofloxacin Ophthalmic solution eye drops and eye ointment called Moxicip. Now my eyes are getting better and swelling in tongue is gone. I took a rabies vaccine called VAXIRAB amount-338.00 which also included INJ.GIVING CHARGE amount-5.00.The doctor has told me to take three more doses of this vaccine on 11, 14 and 21 of May. There is even a fifth dose which is not menshined in my prescription. Please help me. I would like to know if   these vaccines are sufficient and safe to save my life.
[|AI|]  Hello and thanks for sharing your concern with us. In high risk situations rabies immunoglobulins with rabies vaccination should be provided. Rabies vaccine is given in 5 doses at 0, 3,7,14,30 day. If you have any doubt then ask your healthcare providers without any hesitation. One should keep an eye (observation)on the animal which has bitten the person for 10 days, if the animal is well after 10 days of incident then there is no risk. If the animal is suspected to be rabid (becomes ill) in observation period of 10 days after biting then immediate immunoglobulin and vaccination should be done. I wish you good health.
