Yesterday I got scratch in leg when I was in farm. I feels like that scratch is due to my dog which was playing around me. I am unsure about it. Do I need to take rabies vaccine?  I have taken three rabies shot last year on 24 may 2020. Also, I have taken two shots of Indirab (0.5 ml) and rabipur vaccine as a boosters on 28 Jan & 22 Feb this year. Do I need any vaccine due to incident happened yesterday?? Please suggest me. What should I do?

It would depend on the degree of the scratch, ie if or not there was any bleeding and depth of the wound. You would also need tetanus injection if not recently received. For more guidance take a personal instant consultation.  Hope that helps.
