A member asked:
Doctor my hand came in contact with a rabbit's nails and there is no any visible scratch and blood not came out do i need anti rabies vaccination ?

Contact local health: As listed the contact mentioned would not be considered a valid exposure. At least in the USA where this site is based the recommendations on rabbits are to contact local health officials for their input, since rabbits are rarely known to carry rabies. The level of rabies activity in the region is always taken into account for final recommendations.
