Consultation for Vaccination of Rabies

Hi doctors, 8 days ago I got a small scratch from a  cat's nail, it was a pet cat but the cat was unvaccinated. Today I got a 3rd dose of rabies from a government primary health care centre near me but the vaccine was kept out of the refrigerator for 3 hours at room temperature  (it was already mixed with liquid and kept at room temperature on the table and i got injected with that vaccine). Will the vaccine still work? Is the vaccine still valid? Is the vaccine still valid or should i restart the vaccine series?

Rabies booster dose related

Hello,I have had completed my rabies PEP (5 dose) on 28th April 2026(5th dose) with Rabivax-S. I checked my rabies antibody level on 12th July 2026 with value of 3.21 Eu/ml. On 9th August 2026 an aggressive stray dog passed very close to my leg.So out of fear I took one booster of Rabivax-S on 10th August 202. Now I feel I took this booster shot unnecessarily.Is there any harm if I don't take second booster now?I am worried if getting so many vaccines can cause any side effects. So far no major side effects Please advise.Thanks
