Vaccinated for rabies but got bit

2019-03-21 04:49:45
I completed rabies vaccine course last month. When I was trying to feed stray dogs last night one of them tried to take the food from my hand and her teeth grazed my finger which left a very small cut on my skin but no bleeding. I washed it with dettol handwash after a few minutes. Do I need booster shots of the vaccine or will I be fine?
