Rabies is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment.As you were bit by a cat previously for which you have received the entire course of anti rabies vaccine. Once again you were bit 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.
