<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello! im starting to get worry because last week when I finished washing my motorcycle, I was playing with my puppy Siberian Husky and later on I noticed some scratch on my finger,. i really dont an idea if I got that scratch from my pet or during motorcycle wash, my question is: is it safe to have an anti-rabies shot without being bitten or infected ? please send me some information on my email,. YYYYYY  <response>: Hello, Unless your dog is sick you do not need to worry about a rabies shot. Rabies vaccines are a series of injection, and you really do not want to take them unless you have to. It would be good in general for you to have a tetanus shot and for your dog to get the rabies vaccine. Rabies is usually transmitted through the bite of a rabid very sick dog, not through scratches from a puppy. K. Robinson MD
