Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for your mother.
I can understand her problem, but nothing to worry about it.
Since she has been previously vaccinated following a stray cat in the month of February (the last dose), she needs only two doses of vaccines to be given on days 0 and 3.
She must receive these injections in the deltoid muscle of the arms.
The wound should be cleaned and a booster dose of Injection Tetanus toxoid
if not given in January.
Hope this answers your query.
A feed back is highly appreciated.
Regards
