Touching a puppy and not washing hand

2025-02-02 10:30:04
Uhm I touched neighbor's pet puppy head ( idk if it's vaccinated or not) thrice and forgot to wash hands and ate food... Is it putting me on high risk of rabies, 48 hours already went... Can't do anything now.. ( had 4 doses of rabies vaccination from 17 july to 10 august 2024)

Just touching a pet doesn't spread rabies. Bite or Lick by pet over damaged skin may spread rabies, especially if the pet isn't vaccinated.
