Monkey scratch

2019-10-24 14:56:23
I encountered a very small scratch from a monkey's nail which accidentally sat on my head and while jumping out left a small scratch on the forehead . Local doctor gave tetanus and anti-rabies 0 shot . MY question is whether a single shot of anti-rabies is efficient or not?

It's always better to take full course and to prevent the rabies disease from occurring.
