Hello doctors! I was scratched accidentally by a playfull dog while playing with it 3 to 4 months back. The dog was a stray and the scratch did not bleed . There is no scratch mark where it had touched me. There is no unusual sensation in that area. i did not take pep and my last tetanus shot was less than 5 years ago. I want you to please evaluate my risk of rabies.

No rabies vaccine or PEP is needed at this time.
Stay updated on your tetanus vaccination (which you are).
In future exposures (especially with stray or unvaccinated animals), it's safest to consult a doctor immediately, as rabies PEP must be given early.
