If the dog did not bite or scratch your son and there was no contact between the dog's teeth, saliva, or claws with his skin, then rabies vaccination is NOT required.
When is Rabies Vaccination Needed?
â
Yes, if:
There was a bite, scratch, or saliva contact with an open wound/mucous membrane (eyes, nose, mouth).
â No, if:
The dog only chased your son but did not bite or scratch.
What to Do Now?
Double-check for any hidden bite or scratch on the skin.
Observe the dog for 10 days if possibleâif it behaves normally, no risk of rabies.
No need for vaccination if there's no physical contact.
No need to panic. Stay cautious and educate your child about avoiding stray dogs.
