Default Rabies vs. vaccinated dog.


Hi All,

My bitch was vaccinated last year against rabies shots and the shot is good
for 3 years.

Today, we noticed that she had some fresh scratches on her hind right leg.
No idea where she got it from, we keep her in sight (except for the little
while she jumps over the fence unnoticed and goes in to the woods for a
romp) I am a little worried that she may have been in a fight with some
other dog or maybe has been scratched by e.g. a rabbit.

My questions a

Is a vaccinated dog susceptible to rabies?

She licks us often, on our faces and lips too. Are we susceptible to rabies?

What immediate steps should I take?

Thanks.

PS: I intend to take her to the vet tomorrow, but some immediate help would
be great.
