Hello ma'am, You need to take the full regimen of post exposure prophylaxis for rabies- 5 doses of anti Rabies vaccine over 1 month i.e; 0, 3, 7, 14, 28 and one stat dose of immunoglobulin. (Human or Equine) Immunoglobulin will give you a passive immunity for rabies and the anti Rabies vaccine will give you an active immunity by developing antibodies for the virus in your blood. Please don't take a monkey scratch for granted. It is a very potential mammal for spread of rabies.

Health Tips

Anti rabies is a very safe vaccine. It will cause you no harm. God bless you Have a speedy recovery!
