Hii ,

Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here


Monkey bite can cause severe local injury, Bites over the neck or the head can be fatal and some monkey bites can transmit rabies virus ,
So your Doctor Has Prescribed You Right vaccine to prevent from rabies
Proper care of the wound is also very important and Injection of tetanus Toxoid and antibiotics are also required
Once you take all these necessary treatment and once your Wound is Properly healed there would be no future problem

i would strongly suggest you to keep yourself under supervision of your Doctor until everything is ok

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
