Dog bite.
4 years ago a street dog bit me near ankle. It was a small bite. That time right away i got my wound cleared and got 2 dose of rabies vaccine. ( 0 day vaccine and day 3 vaccine). But i didn't take 3rd 4th and 5th dose of vaccine.
Should i be worried? Can i get rabies now? Should i take the full dose of vaccine now?
Can you help me with this. Recently I've been having anxiety attacks due to this.

See rabies from a dog 4 years back is not impossible but is rare
Rabies can present with anxiety issues but it is accompanied by a load of other specific symptoms.
Further the vaccine you have taken are usually effective even after the first dose after 7 days although the full protective schedule has to be followed
