Cat scratch 2 years ago

2021-10-19 07:40:02
I was scratched by accident by a stray cat (which I befriended) 2 years ago with very little bleeding. At that time I didn't take any medicine since that cat used to come daily for food and was with us for months. Later she died due to pneumonia ( we admitted her to animal hospital ). If I take rabies vaccine now will it be useful for me or not needed? Any chances that I have rabies?

Sorry to say, If you take rabies vaccine now, its of no use. Usually rabies symptoms occur in a span of one to three months of exposure. However, there are rare cases where in symptoms occur even after years of exposure. Just keep in mind. You should not be too bothered. There are no ways to diagnose rabies so u can only be alert.
