Mouse scratch?

2 days ago I was scratched by a mouse. I immediately cleaned with peroxide and rubbing alcohol. It was not deep and I did not bleed. It's healing nicely. Do I need to go in or just watch for certain symptoms?

If you immediately with soap and warm water, and is healing fine, you did what it suppose to be done. Almost never require rabies prophylaxis . thank you.
Just monitor
Just watch for symptoms.
