Under any circumstances, you anti-rabies vaccine should not be delayed. It is worth mentioning that, It would be wise to get it checked whether additional Anti rabies serum would be required or not, for that an image of scratch at least will be required.
And your assumption that you have dengue just because the same species of mosquito bit you, is wrong.
Dengue is only suspected when there are signs and symptoms of it.
That same species of mosquito transmit many more diseases other than dengue, but whether it will cause any disease or not will depend if that mosquito is a carrier of it.

You can take the anti-rabies vaccine even if you suspect dengue fever. Rabies is a life-threatening condition, and it is critical to complete the anti-rabies vaccination after any animal bite or scratch. The vaccine should not worsen a dengue infection.
While you're proceeding with the anti-rabies vaccine, be mindful of the symptoms of dengue like high fever, joint pains, or a rash. These can be managed simultaneously with proper medical care.
For better evaluation and personalized treatment, please consult me. You can also reach me on eight double-zero nine eight two one double-three two for further guidance.
