General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

We are giving this vaccination for prevention of rabies virus which mainly spread by dogs and very much likely from cat and what type of wound created by bite should also be seen.

I do not think the booster is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
