Hello sir..
Its good that you have taken Inj TT.
But monkey is a potent agent of transmiting rabies. You should have taken ARS at the site of injury and ARV on the prescribed days at your shoulder region .
The treat should had been started asap or with in 24 hrs.
Its all ready late ..
Everyone should know that rabies if by chance it happens.. Its deadly..
Next Steps
its late but still you can go and get the treatment taken.
its better to take treatment than to be in risk.
Health Tips
never ignore such injuries esp. if acquires from dogs, monkeys, bats, any wild animals..etc
