I get your fear. But if you're nearish a hospital, the treatment makes your chance of getting rabies basically 0%. Honestly I've been bitten or scratched the needed treatment and vaccine on four separate occasions already. It's not bad at all.
Can you get a precautionary vaccine? I know people who've done this.
Dogs and cats. Sometimes strays, and sometimes negligent owners. If there's ANY fear of the animal having rabies, the doctor will insist on getting the vaccine to be safe.
I've always had a no fear feeling with animals, and I've volunteered with animal stuff. I'm probably a bit unlucky, but petting every fecking pet one sees is likely to cause some mishaps.

I once had a doctor who told me that maybe I should just wait and see if I developed any symptoms before bothering to get a rabies vaccine...
Literally tell his office or report him, cuz that would get you killed.
It was years ago in a different country, and it was a woman, but yes, truly galaxy brained medical advice.
Oh sorry to misjudge the gender.
Women are just as capable as men of committing malpractice
