Hey lady!
If it hadn’t bleed and you are having mild abrasion then you should not take any sort of vaccination. But for proper advice you should share a pic of your injury. I would be able to give you proper advice post that.
Next Steps
No need to take vaccination and in case of doubt you should share a pic of it
