क्या मुझे टीका लगे हुए कुत्ते के खरोंचने के बाद रेबीज का टीका लगवाना चाहिए?

Client_313458

कल एक टीका लगाया हुआ पालतू कुत्ता मुझ पर कूदते समय गलती से अपने नाखून से मेरी टांग पर खरोंच मार गया। थोड़ी सी खून निकली थी। मैंने तुरंत घाव को साबुन और पानी से धोया और एंटीसेप्टिक लगाया। मैंने आज टेटनस का इंजेक्शन भी लगवा लिया है। कुत्ता मालिक के अनुसार स्वस्थ और टीका लगाया हुआ है। खरोंच छोटी और सतही है। क्या मुझे रेबीज का टीका लगवाने की जरूरत है?

Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Hello dear See fortunately you washed wound properly You are already vaccinated Dog is also vaccinated The wound seems superficial with absence of Fever Swelling Bleeding Infection So as per my clinical experience there is no need for vaccination. However please observe for 10 days for any abnormal symptoms. In summary chances of rabies are minute only Regards

You don’t necessarily need rabies vaccination in this situation, but there are some factors to consider. Since the dog is vaccinated, and you have confirmed this with the owner, your risk of rabies is significantly reduced. Rabies transmission through scratches is generally less common compared to bites, especially when the animal is known and vaccinated. However, minor bleeding indicates a break in the skin which technically could be an exposure. You did the right thing by washing the wound thoroughly with soap and water; this is one of the most effective immediate measures to help prevent infection. Receiving a tetanus booster is also appropriate given the skin break. As far as your rabies risk goes, health authorities often assess the need for post-exposure prophylaxis on a case-by-case basis. Key considerations include the dog’s vaccination status and health, the nature of the contact, and regional rabies risk profiles. In low-risk areas, given the dog’s vaccination status and health observation, the likelihood of rabies transmission is low, often not requiring vaccination. However, if you remain concerned or if there’s any change in the dog’s health or behavior, consult with a healthcare professional to make a suitable risk assessment. They may advise keeping the dog under observation for ten days to ensure it remains healthy. If any symptoms arise in the dog, contact a healthcare provider promptly for further assessment. Always erring on the side of caution with rabies is wise, given its severity, so a direct consultation with a local physician is prudent if any doubts persist.
