Vaccination is required if a cat scratches you, and the sooner the better, the best time for vaccination is within 24 hours after being scratched by a cat. Cats are one of the common susceptible hosts of rabies virus and have a high chance of being infected with rabies virus. Even domestic cats may come into contact with other animals and become infected with rabies when they go out with their owners. Therefore, after being scratched by a cat, you should pay attention to it and go to a regular epidemic prevention center or hospital to get a rabies vaccine to produce your own antibodies and improve your own disease resistance.

Precautions for vaccination if a cat is scratched:

1. You can eat more milk, eggs and other foods in your diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

2. Get more rest and avoid overexertion and strenuous activities.

3. It is recommended that patients avoid smoking, alcoholism and other bad habits after vaccination, so as to avoid the vaccine being affected and losing its efficacy.
