Hi, i do care for your concern.
in case of superficial scratch, it is advisable to get anti rabies vaccine, for complete three doses.
The vaccine should be taken on zero, third and seventh day from the day of exposure of animal.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
