Rabies Vaccination History and Recent Ex
I completed the full rabies vaccination course on 27th November 2023. As per medical recommendation, I also took a booster dose (Day 0) on 9th December 2024 after my own dog exposure.
Today, 22nd June 2025, I experienced a minor exposure from my own dog (who is fully and regularly vaccinated every year). The incident occurred through a scratch from the dog’s nails, but there is no visible blood or open wound at the site.
I am sharing this information for your advice on whether any further post-exposure measures are required in this case.
Thank you for your guidance.

Since it is your own pet and he has been completely vaccinated, he is considered as safe. On top of that you got only nail scratch and no bleeding or saliva contact. Hence this case doesn't require any vaccinations
