Do I need an injection if I am scratched by a cat in a cat cafe?

If you are scratched by a cat in a cat cafe, you need an injection. In this case, there is a risk of rabies infection. The wound needs to be washed with soapy water, and then a rabies vaccine is injected as soon as possible for prevention. If the wound is deep, rabies immunoglobulin is also required. Most animals may carry rabies virus, such as cats and dogs. Cats in Maokali frequently come into contact with people from all walks of life, and the probability of carrying rabies virus is higher than that of ordinary domestic cats. The concentration of rabies virus in the cat's saliva may be relatively high. Cats often lick their paws, so the rabies virus may also be present on their paws.
Precautions after injecting rabies vaccine:
1. Pay attention to the local condition of the scratch wound. If there is inflammation, redness, swelling or exudation, seek medical attention. Go to the hospital for treatment in time to rule out wound infection.
2. After taking the rabies vaccine, pay attention to whether there are any adverse reactions. If redness, itching, swelling, etc. occur at the vaccination site, it is an adverse reaction that will usually subside on its own in 24-48 hours. If the situation is serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
3. After taking the first dose of rabies vaccine, you must consciously take the next dose of vaccine according to the scheduled time, and complete the entire rabies vaccine regularly.
4. During the vaccination period, try to avoid simultaneous application of hormones, immunosuppressants, etc., so as not to affect the vaccine effect.
