Generally, bats pose a great risk of causing Rabies infection. Unless there was any cut or any open wound around the area where you had contact with the bat fluid, you don't need to worry much. Just a good wash with soap should be fine.
But it is always better to take precautions. So, if possible, getting an anti rabies vaccination will be good.
Next Steps
It's better to go to any nearby health center and get anti rabies vaccination course completed of min 4 doses i.e; 0,3,7,21 days
Health Tips
Consult immediately if any clinical symptoms appear like fever, muscle weakness, spams, excessive salivation, hydrophobia.
