Rabies is transmitted through saliva and you are already protected against tetanus. So you're good to go.

There is lot of hotch potch with your description of previous vaccination against Rabies and Tetanus. Since exposure to dog bite is very common in India and we know that there is no cure for Rabies, I think we should be very careful about our dosage schedule of Rabies (keep a log book where you can enter all the vaccination that you take).

No, even if you take it's waste because you are already protected.
