If you have taken complete course you need not to worry as the antibodies are already there in your body for the next 3 months. But do clean your wound in running water for 10 mins.

Firstly clean your wound with soap & water. You can get T.T. injection if you don't get it last time. If the bite is severe , consult your nearest doctor. Otherwise the vaccine is protective till 3months.

No No need of vaccination if re exposure is within 3 months

If you've completed the full intradermal course of the rabies vaccine within the past 7 days and are bitten again, you're generally well-protected. The rabies vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies against the virus, offering protection.
Next Steps
However, it's still advisable to consult a healthcare professional after another bite to confirm whether additional post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or booster doses are needed.

If with in 3 months of last completed course of rabies vaccination then usually don’t need new vaccination but may need Immunoglobulin, that ur physician will decide after examining the severity of bite. But cleaning and washing under tap water with soap for at least 10-20min is very much essential. Thank u, hope will help

If you have taken the Rabies vaccine in the past 7 days, you do not need a vaccine anymore. Cleaning the wound with running water and soap is enough.
Next Steps
In case, it's a severe bite with bleeding, do visit a doctor to rule out the need for Immunoglobulin.
Health Tips
Taking a T.T vaccine is recommended if you haven't taken it in already.
