  5. I got a minor scratch from a cat and have already taken the first two doses of the rabies vaccine (day 0 and day 3). My last dose is scheduled for March 20, but I will be out of the country and will return on April 6. Can I safely take the final dose after returning, or should I complete it on time?

It is important to complete your final rabies dose on the scheduled date to ensure your immune system develops the necessary protection after a potential exposure. Delaying it for a few weeks is not recommended, as any gap in the vaccination schedule may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and increase your risk.
