Hello, I was scratched by a monkey s nail 3 days on my chest. There are 3 small wounds which are superficial and appear to be healing well. I am not experiencing any other symptoms. I am traveling abroad in Bali and just became aware of the rabies outbreak in 2010. Should I get the rabies vaccine or is it too late? Thank you. Any advise much appreciated.
