Regarding dog scratch
Hi, my friends pet dog scratched me 3 days ago. And there was a slight burning sensation. The next day I saw it was red and burning a bit. My friend said that the dog is vaccinated but I'm not sure when it was last vaccinated!!
I am scared thinking whether there may be any chance of rabies. The dog was friendly and did not act abnormal. So should I be worried? Should I take the vaccine as it is too late now?

As the history show least chances of infection but as rabies is nearly 100% fatal you should not take chance and get vaccinated, but immunoglobulin is not required
