"I was bitten by a cat, do I need to get the tetanus vaccine?"

If you have been bitten by a cat, it is generally recommended to consult a healthcare professional to determine if a tetanus shot is needed. The decision to administer the vaccine will depend on when you last received it. It is important to seek medical advice to assess the seriousness of the bite and determine the appropriate course of action.
