It is always better to take complete course of the rabies vaccine, whatever may be the vaccination status of the biting dog/animal.

Please share wound picture. Was the bite provoked or unprovoked? (Rabies is an incurable illness. It can have incubation period of more than 10 years. Its always safest to get vaccinated.)

Even if it's a small abrasion, you need to take post exposure prophylaxis and TT.
