No you don't need to get booster again as it works for a year.
Next Steps
anti rabies vaccine works for a year and anti rabies serum works for lifetime so in your case it is within one month so there is no need to get a booster just relax
Health Tips
if in a year you again are exposed then first please wash you wound with tapewater for 15-20 min and do care of wound.
