I got bitten by my cat yesterday, I'm wondering if I should renew my tetanus vaccine
Do I need to get the tetanus shot and do I need to go to the doctor for antibiotics?

Hello ma'am,
It is usually recommended to consult a doctor following a cat bite because the bacteria in their mouths are very virulent. For the vaccine, it depends on when you last received it?
