Should i get a rabies shot after being scratched by a stray cat?

Hard to say: Most local health departments keep track of the local rabies activity monitored by state labs. Domesticated pets are seldom a risk, but if there is rabies in the region and the cat can get outside, exposure can occur.If properly vaccinated, risk would be low. So there are specific points of missing information that limit my response. Infection/tetanus is a primary risk.You should call your doc.

Hard to imagine.: FYI: per CDC, there has not been a single confirmed case of cat-to-human rabies in the US in the past 40 years. So, it sounds very reassuring!
