Minor cat scratch

2023-05-31 19:12:50
I got a very minor scratch from cat on 25 April for which I took tetnas within 24 hours and I have also taken one shot of rabies vaccine on 15 th day for safety purpose and the cat is still alive till date ie. 1 June. And is in normal condition which she was before giving a scratch. Should I be worried about rabies then?? Or am I safe.
