Rabies vaccine??

2021-12-14 13:51:34
Yesterday, I got nail scratch from my pet dog on skin. He was vaccinated approximately 6 months ago. But he keep interacting with other stray dogs. I also got 3 shots of vaccine last year in May-2020. And two booster doses in January and February this year. Do I need to take Rabies vaccine now??? Or should get one booster dose now?
