Rabies from dog scratch

2019-12-16 17:36:35
My friend just got a dog pet and the breeder said that it's vaccinated. It scratched me on Thursday 12th December and the area was reddened and it was burning even though there was no blood flow. I applied dettol and next day I also showed to a nurse. She said nothing is needed. But I am still scared if the dog is not vaccinated and what if I catch rabies. I am going through a gynecological treatment also and don't want any impact on this. Please suggest what I should do now
