Hi. Recent rabies news can definitely trigger fear about an old incident. Medically, if a cat scratch happened 2 years ago and you’ve been completely well since then, there is no indication to take the rabies vaccine now for that old exposure. This sounds more like anxiety being triggered by the news than a current medical risk. Try to let this fear pass rather than seeking repeated reassurance.
