No need to take extra vaccine, if boosters were taken wirhin3 months of current exposure. Good wound care is sufficient.

It is useful to know your occupation. The schedule of vaccination that you have taken is for pre exposure, which is usually given to people who have high risk of contacting rabies. There is no need of additional vaccination if would care was appropriate

Did you receive the Anti Rabies Serum too??
Usually if exposure is within three months of course of Serum plus complete course of vaccine, only local wound treatment is recommended.
But if bite was by an stray or if animal dies, it's better to visit the nearby AntiRabies Clinic in any large government hospital and follow their advise.

Not required.
Re-exposure within three months of vaccination doesn't require another dose.
But I am interested to know why you are having frequent exposure.
If you are in a line of work where there is frequent exposure to animals having rabies then you will have to take Pre- exposure prophylaxis for rabies.
Next Steps
Nothing.
Local wound care.
Health Tips
If the patient is in a line of work with high risk of exposure to rabies then it's better to contact a General physician for risk assessment and initiation of Pre exposure prophylaxis for Rabies.
