A kitten requires a series of shots. The first is the feline distemper, sometimes refered to as FVRCP. These are given in a series with 2 shots about 3-4 weeks apart. The FVRCP is repeated annually. Vaccines for feline leukemia and feline aides are important if the cat goes outside. These vaccines are given in a series of 2 to bolster immunity in the the first year, then annually. Rabies is given annually begining at 16 wks old.
New recommendations are first shots at 9 weeks old. Rabies after 20 weeks. USE ONLY NON ADJUVANTED rabies. You do not vaccinate for anything (except rabies by law) after the kitten shots. (a series of 2, four weeks apart).

BeauIf you mean a rabies vaccine, then, no. Rabies can only be transmitted if the animal bites, and if the bite breaks the skin. So if the cat only scratched you, then you don't need to worry.
It is also very, very rare for a human to get rabies from a cat nowadays, as most people have their cats vaccinated for it. Most rabies cases nowadays are from wild animal bites.
