Do you need an injection to bleed from a cat scratch and how much does it cost?

If you have been scratched by a cat and are bleeding, there is a risk of rabies transmission to humans, and you need to get a rabies vaccination to prevent rabies. The rabies vaccination requires five shots, and the entire cost of the vaccine is about$300-500. If the rabies vaccine is prepared using human diploid cells, one shot will cost about$300, and five shots will cost$1,000-2,000. The case of bleeding from a cat scratch is a tertiary exposure, and the rabies vaccine will only produce antibodies after a week, which will probably not completely prevent getting rabies, so it is also necessary to inject rabies serum or rabies immunoglobulin at this time. This is a direct injection of antibodies, which needs to be calculated according to the person’s weight and is more expensive, and will cost more than 1,000 yuan.
