If anti rabies treatment already completed then no need to worry. Tetanus injection not required frequently. Usually it lasts for couple of years. TT is advised if the patient doesn't remember when was the last time they had it.
Next Steps
Watch for any symptoms like pain, redness, itching etc. at the site of bat exposure. If it gets worse get a physical consult. Complete blood count to rule out any bacterial infections.
