Rabies vaccination doubt, pls help

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

Hello, I completed my ARV full five doses in January and I got scratched by a dog in September, do I need to take the anti rabies vaccination again? The dog is a street dog so I don't know if it's vaccinated or not,there was no blood from the scratch. Also, is abhayrab a safe vaccination option? Please advice, Thanks.
