Not required .
If there's re-exposure withing 3months of Prev POST EXPOSURE Vaccination : no more vaccine/booster is required IF document/any proof of prev POST exposure vaccination is available .
Next Steps
so just wash the wound with soap and water ...keep it under running water for 15min
do not suture the wound ...leave it open
apply betadiene solution over that twoce daily for next 3 days and leave it open
