Dog Scratched hand
I have been scratched by dog 26 hrs ago but blood did not come. Next morning those scars fade away. Do I need to take rabies vaccination.
I have taken those vaccination two times before also when dogs bit me but that was more than 20 and 28 years ago.

For scratch you need to take vaccine. Previous vaccination doesn't matters in your case.

Just a scratch without a bleed doesn't require Vaccination.
