Is greece rabies free - #29263
I am really worried and could use some advice. Last week, I was in Greece for a vacation, and I had an amazing time exploring but now I'm freaking out about something! I was walking in a rural area and came across a stray dog that looked super sick. At the time, I petted it without even thinking twice! Now I’m sitting here, wondering: Is Greece rabies free? I thought I heard that rabies was under control there, but what if I’ve put myself at risk? I did some quick reading online, and I saw mixed information - like, some sources said Greece has rabies cases but others said it’s mostly rabies-free. I’m just confused and tied up in knots over this. A friend mentioned that if I were bitten I should have gotten vaccinated right away, but I didn’t have any injuries, just a few scratches from the dog's fur. Is Greece rabies free or is it something I need to worry about? Should I see a doctor, or do I sound overly paranoid? I just want to be safe! What should I do?
