It gives total protection only for four months from the last dose . By taking ARV so frequently your immunity levels are high but as per the guidelines you still have to take ARV if you are exposed to a dog bite or a deep scratch.

Whether you need a vaccine for a future injury from a dog or cat depends on multiple factors like where the injury is how deep it is and ofcourse how long it’s been since vaccination
You can check serum antibodies to see the possible level of protection from the vaccine
