Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Monkeys are creatures in the wild and you must get yourself vaccinated with antirabies vaccine if a monkey has scratched you.

Please clean the area under cold water with soap for 5 minutes.
Consult a doctor and take tetanus toxoid injection and anti rabies vaccination 5 day schedule.

1. Tetanus toxoid is one time injection
2. Anti rabies vaccine like Rabipur or Verorab is taken on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30 in the deltoid muscle in adults.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
