Scratched by stray kitten
Hello! Yesterday evening I was scratched on the leg by a stray kitten who lives in my building. The scratches are not deep but the skin was broken. I immediately washed the area with soap and water. Do I need to get any injection? I got a tetanus shot in 2016 which is supposed to last for 5 years.
