Scratched by the puppy to be injected?

Whether or not you need a shot after being scratched by a puppy depends on the condition of the wound. If the wound is superficial and the skin is intact, rabies vaccination is not required. If the wound is broken or accompanied by significant bleeding, rabies vaccination is necessary and, if accompanied by bleeding, rabies immunoglobulin is also required. The conventional method of rabies vaccination is now a five-shot regimen, with the remaining injections given on the day of the scratch by the cat or dog and on days 3, 7, 14, and 28, respectively. While receiving the rabies vaccine, attention should be paid to eating a light diet and not eating spicy and stimulating foods, etc. Those with bleeding wounds also need to inject rabies immunoglobulin and calculate the dosage according to their own weight to close the wound and avoid the spread of the virus, etc. Also, since wounds are extremely susceptible to infection after being scratched by cats and dogs, it is recommended to take antibacterial drugs to prevent wound infection.
