Rabies Vaccine Incomplete and exposure

2021-11-23 14:42:30
I was bitten by a pet dog in September and I started PEP. However the dog remained healthy and it was also vaccinated. I stopped the PEP after 3 doses on Day 0-3-7. Today i was scratched by a stray dog while i was travelling to a different city. I had the 3 doses of vaccine in the month of September. Do i need to get the whole PEP of 5 dose ?
