Is Anti-rabies Vaccination Required For A Dog Scratch On The Chin?
Hi Doc i got scratched by a 3 month old puppy on my chin, the puppy has not been vaccinated yet for anti rabies. It did not bleed and i cant even see any marks, it happened about 20 hours ago. I washed it unvrunning water and soap and put antibacterial cream. Will.i get rabies? Do i need to take some shots? If i do, is it not yet too late as it happened for almost a day now?

Hello,
Scratch belongs to category 2 and vaccination is a must. However ERIG is not required. The full course of the vaccine must be taken.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
