Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The treatment you have already taken is quite OK.
But I recommend one more dose of Antirabies injection on 90th day.
Injury on finger is more prone to disease because of proximity to the CNS.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
