If you completed a full post-exposure anti-rabies vaccination schedule within the last 15 days and are bitten again, you may not repeat the entire schedule but instead get a booster dose of 0 and 3 days respectively. previous vaccination provides you with memory immunity, and the booster doses will effectively boost your immune response

If you have already completed post bite vaccination a couple of weeks back, then there is nothing to worry about. Since the bite is in lip, you can get an opinion with your physician for immunoglobulin injection alone.
