Hello there. I can understand your concern. You don't as such. But i would suggest you take one TT now, and then take full course of rabies vaccine just to be safe in the future. Also, take good care of the wound. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
