Question

I'm a bit worried about my rabies shots. I got 5 doses of the anti-rabies vaccine back in January after a dog bite, but turns out the dog didn't have rabies. Recently, another dog scratched my leg with its teeth, leaving just a scratch with a little blood. This happened about 10 days ago on October 1st. Should I get vaccinated again?

Since you've already completed the full anti-rabies vaccine series in January and the scratch wasn't deep or from a rabid dog, you likely don't need to take the vaccine again. However, if you're still concerned or have any doubts, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.
