If a dog is fully vaccinated with rabies then post bite rabies vaccination are optional, but you can always go with prophylactic doses, there is no harm in it and it will give you mental satisfaction too. Also rabies is a deadly disease and vaccination is the only option we can reduce the probability of its occurrence.

It is true that if a completely vaccinated dog accidentally bites someone, then vaccination is not a must. But don't worry. Getting vaccination is not a harmful thing. Anyone can get the vaccination. It will only provide immunity.
