How Can A Dog Scratch Wound Be Treated?

I was scratched by a stray bitch 36 hours ago. The wound is on my wrist and even though it didn t bleed profusely, there was a thin line of blood. It s healing already. Should I get a rabies or tetanus shot? Only medication applied this far is basic dettol and betadine.
