[|Human|] Hello.I was scratched by my dog while wearing pajamas. Scratch did not bleed but skin was broken. I washed it with soap and cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide. Would the saliva from the dogs nails still reach my skin and need to see a doctor or was it filtered on the pajamas?, Should I get an anti tetanus shot and rabies vaccine?. Your advice is greatly appriciated. Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello! I hope the dog was immunized. Even if not there is nothing to be worried. As you said you managed to get a scratch and there was no bleeding. There would still be a chance of infection. It is advisable for you to get vaccinated. The World Health Organization categories scratch without bleeding as category II based on the degree of exposure and vaccination is recommended in this case. There are two kinds of vaccine regimes available, intramuscular and intradermal (in the skin). Intramuscular injections are common, 5 doses on days 0,3,7, 14 and 28. It is also advisable to get tetanus vaccination also if you haven't in the past 5 years. I hope the advice was useful, please feel free to write back if you have further queries. Regards.
