If full anti rabies vaccination/booster was taken recently, usually no need to vaccinate again for minor repeat bite.
Wash wound properly and consult once with your doctor for confirmation.

You are completely safe, and you absolutely do not need to get vaccinated again for this new scratch.
Because you completed your second anti-rabies booster dose literally today, your immune system is already hyper-stimulated and actively flooded with fresh antibodies. Your body's defensive shield is at its absolute peak right now.
When a minor bite or abrasion happens on the exact same day you finish your booster protocol, the vaccines you have already taken completely cover the new incident. Your body does not need a 'reset' or an extra dose; the protective wall is already fully built and ready."
Next Steps
Thorough Local Wound Care: "Even though you don't need new shots, you must properly care for the new scrape. Wash the abrasion immediately under running tap water with regular soap for at least 15 minutes. This mechanical washing is the most important step to clear out any surface bacteria from the animal's teeth or saliva."
Keep the Area Clean: "Apply a simple over-the-counter antiseptic or antibiotic ointment (like Cipladine or Neosporin) over the abrasion and cover it with a clean bandage to keep dirt out."
No Extra Doses Allowed: "Do not visit another clinic or take an extra 'safety' shot. Your current 2-dose booster protocol is fully complete, and adding extra injections offers absolutely zero medical benefit."
Health Tips
To officially document this second incident in your immunization log and get a final visual review of the wound healing, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."
