As u r not sure,you should take post prophylaxis arv vaccination.
Before that clean wound with soap and water then keep in running water for 1min .
Keep vaccination paper safe so that in future you will take less vaccines and u r safe from rabies also
Next Steps
go to your nearest hospital for vaccination
