看你被啥动物咬过吧,包括家养的动物,有没有定期打狂犬疫苗。
我曾问过兽医,说3年给家猫打一次就可以,但如果你家猫儿从来不出门,打不打也许无所谓,我家猫儿会去前院和后院,也抓老鼠和鸟,应该打的。开春带他去打,前院浣熊肯定有的,粑粑里会不会有病毒呢?
我二十年前打过一次,抓进屋的蝙蝠被咬了(异常行为,蝙蝠不应该飞进屋),去急诊,给打了百白破,我要打狂犬疫苗,但医生翻着书给我看,说感染率万分之一,我说假如感染,哪怕亿万分子一,我中彩了就会死(狂犬感染百分百的死亡率),但急诊医生不听,不给打。
我上网查了打公共卫生电话,接电话的听了二话没说,给家庭医生诊所块递了狂犬免疫蛋白和疫苗。
疫苗必须48小时内接种,否则就没效。
学到的关键一课,不管你多么天不怕地不怕,不管你多爱小动物,千万不要动手接触(假如进屋了找专业人士);尤其在外旅游,千万不要抚摸小动物,假如忍不住必须摸,每3年打一次疫苗(不知道是不是自掏腰包),或者旅游前先打疫苗。
(出门旅游,该打的疫苗一定要打,我4月去阿根廷,没要求打黄热病疫苗,但瀑布蚊子多,假如被咬了感染了呢?所以我会打,OHIP 不保)。
CDC的这个链接,等于啥也没说。

三藩市的这个链接说的很详细,美国可能携带的动物有:浣熊,臭鼬,狐狸,蝙蝠,负鼠,野狗。猫狗牛偶尔也会感染。但因为猫狗都接种了疫苗所以感染率几乎没有。

Find out which animals can pass rabies to people
In San Francisco, all animal rabies cases since the 1940s have occurred in bats.
In the USA, most animal cases of rabies occur among wild raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. Coyotes and opossums can also pass rabies. Domestic animals such as dogs, cats, and cattle, can get infected with rabies, but they only rarely do. A pet dog, cat, or ferret that was born in the USA and is documented to be current with rabies vaccines is very unlikely to have rabies.
In the USA, rabies has not been passed to humans by small rodents like gophers, squirrels, mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, or guinea pigs.
In developing countries, including most of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, domestic and wild animals carry rabies. In these countries, people may get rabies from dogs.
If the health of the animal cannot be determined at 10 days (it was a stray that ran away, for example) then:
- If the animal lives in San Francisco, it is extremely unlikely to have rabies. So we do not strongly recommend shots. But since there is still a small chance of rabies, we recommend a shared decision about the shots between you and your doctor.
- If the animal lives outside San Francisco, we will consider the likelihood of rabies in the area where the animal lives. We then make a recommendation. If you got bitten by a dog, cat, or ferret outside the USA, we usually give a strong recommendation for rabies shots.
