"For a 19-year-old who was scratched by a street cat and has no visible blood on the scratch, your previous rabies vaccination history should provide adequate protection. Since you received two booster doses of the rabies vaccine two weeks ago and had four doses four months ago, additional vaccinations are generally not required.
Given this vaccination history, your immunity against rabies should be sufficient. However, if you have any concerns or if the scratch shows signs of infection or if you experience any unusual symptoms, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and confirmation of your current protection status."

No need to worry
Vaccine is not required
For cat scratches with no bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth, clean with mild soap and water, apply antibiotic ointment, and cover with a bandage to reduce risk of infection and promote healing.
