No u won't need rabies vaccination again since u were given once when that thing happened, if u gets bitten by any stray animal once again u may need the rabies vaccine again... We also understand one thing, rabies gets mainly through bite of rabid infected animal and not through scratches... Thank you..

Since you only got the antirabies vaccination in October, there is no need for extra vaccination. You can confirm it with your physician, also.

Generally within 3 months the shots are not required, still talk to an infectious diseases centre for further guidelines.
