If the dog scratches you, you need to get a rabies vaccine. Rabies is a special type of infection. It is mainly caused by scratches or bites of domestic animals such as cats and dogs, which allow rabies bacteria to invade the human body and induce the disease. The mortality rate of rabies patients is extremely high due to the lack of specific therapeutic drugs and the rapid progression of the disease. Therefore, after being scratched or bitten by a dog, the rabies vaccine should be injected promptly within 24 hours to prevent the occurrence of rabies.

Precautions for vaccination if a dog is scratched:

1. Pay attention to skin care at the vaccination site and keep it dry and clean to avoid infection.

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

3. In your diet, you can eat more milk, eggs and other foods, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
