You don't need vaccination again. Your body still carries immunity from last vaccination and if there was no visible bite or bleeding please do not get vaccinated again.

Anti rabies vaccinations have their own validity. Some will be valid for a year, and some will be three years. You need to check your vaccination history, and you will know its validity.
