Anonymous users2024-02-12If you are scratched by a cat, you need to be vaccinated.
After being scratched by a cat and treating the wound, you must go to the hospital for rabies vaccination as soon as possible. The commonly used vaccine in our country is the five-shot method, which is given one dose on the day of injury, and one dose on the day and day 28, for a total of five doses. However, due to the large number of vaccinations and the cycle of up to 1 month, many people will forget or delay the follow-up vaccination, and the final effect may be affected.
Experts recommend that you try to get vaccinated within 24 hours of exposure, and the sooner the better! If you are not vaccinated in time for more than 24 hours, it does not mean that subsequent vaccinations are ineffective. As long as the vaccine is given before the onset of the disease, it has a certain effect.
It's just that the later the time drags on, the worse the vaccine protection will be!
In general, antibody levels can be maintained for at least 1 year after full rabies vaccination.
Those who are re-exposed during vaccination: continue to complete the full course of vaccination according to the original procedure, and do not need to increase the dose; After full immunization, those who are re-exposed within 6 months: generally do not need to be re-immunized; After full immunization, 6 months and 1 year of re-exposure:
1 dose of vaccine should be given on days 0 and 3; After full immunization, those who are re-exposed within 1 to 3 years: 1 dose of vaccine should be given every day.

Secondly, you have to see if the cat has rabies symptoms, and generally cats will die within a week after being infected with rabies, and if there are no symptoms (not to mention the symptoms), there is no problem.
