When a cat scratches and does not bleed, it is possible that the vaccine is also needed at this time. This is because a scratch that does not bleed is a classic secondary exposure if there is a visible break in the skin visible to the naked eye. Although the possibility of rabies transmission is not as great as in the case of bleeding, there is a relatively small possibility of rabies transmission. Therefore, this condition is also subject to rabies vaccination according to the rabies exposure process. For rabies vaccination, it is recommended that the first injection be given within 24 hours of the scratch. The complete process of five injections, then about a week after the first injection, is able to produce the corresponding rabies neutralizing antibodies, so that the rabies vaccine can play a relevant role. Therefore, if the cat scratches the skin but does not bleed, rabies vaccination is also necessary. If the skin is not even visible to the naked eye, then rabies vaccination is generally not required in this case.
