U cannot take extra shots by your own , they will not provide u extra immunity, vaccination should always be taken after a proper consultation
In your case u don't need to take ARV

ARV shots needs to taken as per the recommendations only. Getting extra shots will not give extra protection. Based on the validity of your previous vaccination brand, you can decide the next booster date.
You can also go for rabies antibody titer test to check your vaccination immunity status too.
