Hello,
Your risk of acquiring rabies disease is very less here. But yes you should take anti-rabies vaccine full course at 0, 3, 7, 14, 28 days along with that 1 dose of tetanus toxoid injection also to be given.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
