Cat scratches
My son is 4yr 10 month old. He was playing with semi domestic cat. He informed me that cat has scratch him in hand but i don't found scratch in his hand. He does not feel pain in hand. I consulted the doctor on the same day but doctor said no need to vaccinated. Doctor said that if blood came out then vaccination is neccessary. But on the second day i consulted onother doctor but he said the same story. But in WHO guidelines it is clearly mentioned that vaccination is neccessary for scratch without blood. I am totally confused. In the mean time, 60 hours have passed. Please suggest or advice me. Vaccination is neccessary or i go to another doctor for vaccination
