Rabies vaccine should be taken as soon as possible after scratch. Please don't waste more time

I need to ask few more questions before answering your query. Early consultations can prevent complications. Kindly contact me on whatsapp chat  (84960595 six five) Dr Faisal Zoheb MBBS , MD PAEDIATRICS , PGPN (BOSTON), Neonatology fellow ( Newborn and vaccination specialist )

You should wash the wound properly with soap and water and give vaccination within 24 hrs and then follow schedule depending on your injection mode ( I/v or I/d)

Within 24 hours..

Cat scratch from an unvaccinated cat in a 15-month child is a rabies exposure (Category II/III), even if scab has formed, so do not delay treatment. Immediately rewash the wound for at least 15 minutes with soap and running water, then apply povidone-iodine or chlorhexidine; avoid tight bandage or irritants. Rabies vaccine (Day 0) should be given as soon as possible—preferably within hours, but start today itself without fail. If there is Category III bite, then Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) is required, to be infiltrated into the wounds along with the first dose, under pediatrician supervision. Also assess tetanus status—TT may be needed if immunization is incomplete. For comfort, Paracetamol can be given for pain/irritability. Kindly take the child to a hospital immediately today for vaccination ± RIG.

Get first dose as soon as possible Don't delay beyond 24 hours FYI: vaccinated animal bite is also followed by rabies vaccination

Asap vaccine
