If the dog is still alive after 5 months then the dog didn't had rabies at the time of bite so no need to get vaccinated now

The dog, which bites you 5 months ago, didn't have rabies at the time of the incident, that's why it is still alive even after 5 months. You don't have to get vaccination now.
