It is your pet animal. Please ask your brother to take one injection. No further injection will be required if your dog remains healthy.
This is keeping in mind that your brother had a full course of ARV six months ago.

It's depends on type of wound and type of bite, if there is only scratch marks no need of any vaccination just do a wound cleaning
And if there is blood oozing and mucosal exposure you don't need to take full prophylaxis , just take 2 dose of rabis vaccination on day 0 and day 7 .
Next Steps
consult for further details treatment and investigation
