Hi I can understand your concern
If you have completed 5 dose of vaccine it will work for 1 year
If recent bite is multiple and bite in head and neck rabis immunoglobulin need to be used
If you can share picture, I can help you better.
If it's small scratch with tooth no head and neck involved
No need to worry
Your previous vaccine will protect u
