    After being bitten by a cat, you need to get a rabies vaccine, so you need to get an injection. Generally, after being bitten by a cat, the general treatment procedure is to squeeze from the proximal end to the distal end, squeeze the bleeding, and then rinse with running water, rinse for about 15 minutes, and then go to the hospital to treat the wound. Why do I need to get a rabies vaccine after being bitten by a cat?

    Because the first choice of infected people for rabies is sick dogs, followed by cats, cats can also transmit the rabies virus. Rabies, on the other hand, has a 100 percent mortality rate, and once it occurs, there is no cure. Therefore, after being bitten by a cat, you must go to the hospital for wound disinfection and rinsing, and then carry out a full course of rabies vaccination.

    The other aspect is that cats also need to be vaccinated regularly. If you have a pet, you must remember that the cat should also go to the veterinarian station regularly for injections. After being bitten by a cat, whether to vaccinate first depends on whether the cat is safe and healthy, if you can ensure that the cat does not have rabies, you can also not be vaccinated.

    However, if the cat is unknown** or has not received the vaccine, rabies vaccination is recommended. Of course, in addition to rabies, if the wound scratched by the cat is larger and deeper, it is also necessary to pay attention to debridement surgery, that is, to wash the wound repeatedly with saline, hydrogen peroxide and soapy water, and clean off a large number of bacteria and viruses in the wound, which will be conducive to the healing of the postoperative wound and reduce the possibility of tetanus and wound infection. Therefore, if the wound is deep, in addition to rabies vaccination, tetanus injection is also required, which can reduce the possibility of tetanus.

    If you are not sure whether the domestic cat has been vaccinated and the severity of the bite is relatively severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination for insurance purposes.

    If it is a self-raised cat, and it is a vaccinated domestic cat, and you accidentally bite and play, you don't need to be too nervous to get vaccinated. Cat owners, there is no one who has not been bitten, when they are familiar with the growth and health process of domestic cats, it is within a safe range, and the bite only needs to be cleaned up with soapy water and disinfected with iodine wine.

    If it is a cat that is picked up, when bitten, you must go to the hospital for vaccination, because you do not know whether the domestic cat has been infected with rabies when it is wandering, and rabies has a certain incubation period, and the mortality rate is very high, personal health and safety is the most important, but when you are unsure, for peace of mind, it is recommended to go to a good hospital for vaccination.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) has clear grading and different handling of suspected rabies animal exposure. If the skin is not broken, then there is no need to worry about it at all and no special treatment is required; If you are bitten and scratched, but there is no bleeding, you can only get the rabies vaccine; If you see blood and the bite is severe, you have to get vaccinated and immunoglobulin.

    However, vaccination is a slow thing after all, and if you are injured by any animal (no matter what animal), the most urgent treatment is to rinse the wound with clean water and rub it with some soapy water, which can reduce the virus entering your body as much as possible. In addition, WHO statistics also show that 99% of rabies cases are transmitted by dogs, and it seems that people who have been bitten by cats can take it easy.

If you are bitten by a rabbit, you do not need to be vaccinated. Vaccines are generally not given after being bitten by rabbits, because the disease commonly transmitted by rabbits is tularemia, on the one hand, there is currently no vaccine for tularemia, and on the other hand, rabbit-borne tularemia is mainly transmitted through arthropod bloodsuckers such as ticks and lice, or aerosols, droplets, etc. Bite is not the main route of transmission, so the chance of contracting tularemia through bites is relatively small, and there is currently no vaccine to be injected, so there is no need for vaccination. >>>More

Transmission of hepatitis B is mainly bloodstream and sexual, bodily fluid, and mother-to-child vertical transmission. I heard that antiviral drugs such as He Weili are now very effective, so hepatitis B patients don't need to worry too much. Of course, the society is still very discriminatory against hepatitis B, and I hope that the relevant units should have a correct understanding of hepatitis B.
