Question
Today at noon, while playing with the cat, I accidentally got scratched and it bled. What should I do? It’s a kitten, which I just picked up from a colleague’s house yesterday and it has just been weaned.
Answer
Currently, it should be normal to receive the rabies vaccine, which is not to say that rabies virus infection is definitely going to occur. This is just for the sake of prevention. As long as the purpose of prevention is achieved, corresponding protective measures can be taken. So, from the perspective of preventive medicine, corresponding protective measures can be taken by receiving the rabies vaccine normally to prevent any unforeseen events. At the same time, proper skin treatment in the area should be done to prevent infection.
