Hi. Just a few days ago, our "adopted" kitten scratched my forearm. It was a stray. It was a superficial scratch (with no blood drawn) but, nevertheless, I decided to get a post-exposure vaccine. But just now, it gave me another scratch. It's so little, less than an inch, no blood drawn. However, I'm just a bit paranoid as it was licking my hands. There was no wound on my hand whatsoever, except for that teeny scratch that I'm not even sure I got from the kitten because it was already a scab by the time I noticed it (which was like seconds after I put the kitten downn).
My question has more to do with my worry that kitten saliva might have gotten into the "newly-discovered" scratch. How high is the risk and will my currently undergoing post-exposure vaccination help? Thanks!
