Whether you need to be vaccinated if you are bitten by an unvaccinated kitten depends on the situation. If you are bitten by an unvaccinated kitten, you need to be vaccinated:

1. After being bitten by a cat or dog, as long as there is bleeding, it is a third-level exposure, and everyone should actively go to the epidemic prevention station to get the rabies vaccine.

2. If you are scratched by a stray cat in the wild or an unfamiliar cat, you must get a rabies vaccine in time. After being scratched, in addition to vaccination, you also need to rinse the wound with soap and water in time, rinse repeatedly for more than 20 minutes, and then go to the epidemic prevention department to get rabies vaccine in time.

3. If the scratch wound is particularly large and the amount of bleeding is large, serum immunoglobulin needs to be injected at the same time to achieve a more rapid effect of blocking rabies.

If you are bitten by an unvaccinated kitten, do not vaccinate:

1. The skin of the cat scratched does not show any damage or obvious redness. Generally, injections are not required.

2. When in contact with animals, if there is no obvious skin damage or bleeding, injections are not required.
