Do i need to get vaccinated against rabies if a seemingly normal stray cats teeth graze my skin, no bite or visible puncture wound?

Rabies transmission from pets is rare but feral cats may be infected.A call to your local health department can let you know if if rabies is active in your region & the animals involved.They can also direct you to a source of the vaccine if it is needed.The cdc website also has information on rabies that may be helpful.www.cdc.gov.

A scratch or bite is dangerous from a feral cat because it has been shown they are now carriers of rabies. It is rare that someone has contacted rabies but if a wound occurs it is best to be tested.
