Being scratched by a cat requires vaccination. Being scratched by a cat has a certain risk of contracting rabies. Once rabies occurs, the mortality rate is extremely high, so it is recommended to go to a regular medical institution to get the rabies vaccine in time. After being scratched by a cat, the wound should be cleaned in time, and the wound should be washed repeatedly with flowing soapy water. If the wound bleeds, the dirty blood should be squeezed out from the proximal end to the distal end in time. Secondly, after rinsing, use medical alcohol or iodophor to wipe repeatedly. If the wound is deep, it should be covered with cleaning materials to prevent secondary contamination. Finally, go to the hospital immediately to get vaccinated against rabies.

What should you pay attention to if you are scratched by a cat:

1. Because the incubation period of rabies vaccine is uncertain, it is recommended that patients receive rabies vaccine as early as possible.

2. Get more rest and avoid overexertion and strenuous activities.

3. It is recommended that patients avoid smoking, alcoholism and other bad habits after vaccination, so as to avoid the vaccine being affected and losing its efficacy.
