Vaccine required if scratched by Eagle?
Got light scratches on forehead by eagle claw. Little blood came out. Will get tetanus injection. Any specific vaccine required for this? Some doctors suggested to get vaccinated but didn't mention what vaccine.

Clean the wound with soap and water
Use T-bact/Fucidin ointment for local application
A shot of tetanus vaccination if you haven’t so in the past 10 years
No other vaccination is required for a “light scratch”
Kindly send a picture of the wound for more apt treatment
