Do I need anti rabies?
On 23 september 2024, a cat scratched me..I took 5 doses of anti rabies vaccine. Now, today on 24 Jan 2025 at 9:00pm a dog cut me with its teeth, a very very minor one, not even very visible but skin opened a little. No blood. Do I need vaccine again? I cannot go to the hospital right now. I can go tomorrow morning only. What should I do? Am I safe?

You're safe as you took 5 doses already, a complete post exposure prophylaxis ensures a complete safety for 4 months at least
And the protection is likely to last for a year
However booster dose is recommended as per guidelines depending on category of bite
