What safety measures should be taken for a pregnant woman who has been scratched by a pet?

Question

Hi doctor,

My sister is pregnant, and my pet accidentally scratched her. Is this a problem for her? Can she drink milk and eat everything as normal? She has been taking pregnancy medicines, and she received the usual vaccinations for pregnant women, including the TT injection.
