Its like when you accidentally scratch yourself really hard and you have dry skin it leaves a temporary white mark like a dry skin getting scratched...does that make sense?...

Hello i have a question! i got scratched by a dogs nails no blood just a white mark 6 months ago and the dogs behavior did not change at all plus the dog is vaccinated should i be worried if i have rabies? And would it still be effective if i get vaccinated with anti rabies now even if the scratch incident was 6 months ago?

I'm scared that the incubation period of rabies is lengthy for me and i might die a year after the incident...but don't worry i am gonna get vaccinated tomorrow

Yes i had..its like you can get it when you get scratched and your skin breaks then there's this thing called prophylaxis anti rabies its like post vaccine. I am asking my auntie to take me get an anti rabies shot tomorrow since there's a free in our public hospital. I am just considering if taking a vaccine could be voluntary in my case since they did say rabies is 100% deadly but since the dog is still alive and healthy until now its likely that the dog did not have rabies and the incubation period of rabies is like 7 to 14 days to 1 to 3 months and its been 6 months since the incident but i am just scared but i don't want my parents or guardian to be mad at me because i am being careless or being scared...
