I'm really worried because my mom has had a dry cough for the past four days along with a sore throat. I found out that some people in her office tested positive for COVID, even though she wasnt in direct contact with them. Should we consider getting her tested for corona?

I received a full dose of the anti-rabies vaccine about 7 months back. Yesterday, my cat scratched me again, and there was a tiny bit of blood. I cleaned the scratch with soap and got a tetanus shot. Do you think it's necessary for me to get the rabies vaccine once more?
Depending on the severity of the scratch and the risk of rabies transmission, a booster dose of ARV may be considered. The standard regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis includes a series of rabies vaccine doses, such as Rabipur or Verorab, administered over a specific time period. The healthcare provider will assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.
