Cat scratch on my hand

2018-11-12 10:35:35
Yesterday by 8:00 pm a cat scratched my hand and a small blood came out as a result. I got a TT injection from my Doctor. Now I'm planning to get Anti Rabbies vaccine also. So, as said along with Anti Rabbies vaccine do I also need to get Rabbies ImmunoGlobin(RIG Vaccine)?? Hope , Anti Rabbies vaccine is enough. Pls advise
