Generally, there is no need for injections when bitten by a newborn kitten that bleeds, because the kitten is less likely to be exposed to the rabies virus, so it will not be infected. The wound only needs to be cleaned and disinfected in time; If you are bitten by a stray cat outside, it is best to clean the wound immediately, disinfect it, and then go to the hospital to get vaccinated to avoid being infected with rabies virus.
