If there's no biting or scratching involved, the risk of contracting rabies is significantly reduced. However, if there's any potential for exposure through scratching or biting, it's essential to seek post-bite vaccination.
Next Steps
While the yearly Novibac rabies vaccine can help maintain sufficient antibody levels, it's still advisable to follow a post-bite vaccination schedule as antibody levels may vary and it's prudent to ensure optimal protection against the virus.
