The chances of getting rabies after being bitten by a rabbit are low. According to the technical guidelines for rabies prevention and control written by the CDC, rabies immunization is not necessary after being bitten or scratched by rodents. Because rabies virus vaccines are usually found in animals such as dogs, pigs, and cats, rabbit infection with rabies virus usually results in the death of the affected animal. Healthy rabbits do not carry the rabies virus, and therefore are generally not at risk of infection. After being bitten by a rabbit, the wound should be rinsed repeatedly with soapy water, then cleaned with running water, dried with sterile cotton wool, and sterilized with iodine povidone to avoid infection. If the wound is more serious, you should promptly seek medical attention. After being bitten by a rabbit, it is necessary to carry out timely treatment to avoid wound inflammation and infection.
