Rabies vaccination is also needed after being scratched by cats. Because cats may also contain a small amount of rabies virus in their claws, if they are not vaccinated in time after being injured, they will also cause infection. It is recommended to clean the skin with water in time after being scratched, apply disinfectant locally, and vaccinate as soon as possible after being injured.
