Hi, got scratched by the puppy, while being in Bali 2 weeks ago. The owner said that the dog was vaccinated against rabbies. Today I feel pain in that place in arm, where the dog scrached the arm.  3 years ago I got rabbies vaccine,  but i didnt have the revaccine after 1 year. So now I am getting paranoia about it. Is it too late for me now to get the vaccine? Thank you very much for your answer. BR Irene
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were scratched by vaccinated pet dog and also vaccinated against dog bite three years ago, you will be identified as re exposures under WHO categories of animal bite. According to WHO categories of animal bite Re-exposures should receive two doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0 and 3. As it is a pet dog and available for observation still you can take two doses of vaccine. If the dog shows any symptoms of rabies you need to take the rabies immunoglobulin in and around the scratch site. Thank you.
