About 10 days ago I tried to help a doctor, and got a minor scratch. Later that day, the govt authorities captured that dog to spay her. But when I visited the vet hospital today, they told me she passed away. I went to the nearby hospital and told them about this. The doctor told me I only have to get 2 booster vaccines for rabies since I have already taken rabies vaccine about 4 years ago. I got my first booster shot today. Should I ask them to give me a complete course.

No need . But if you can do a anti rabies antibody titer in your body it is more useful and will give more surety about the protection you have
