Dear lybrate-user, thanks for reaching out since rabies in normal looking dogs is quite common, I will suggest that you take the vaccines again but a short course is needed. You can consult me for details otherwise go to your nearest clinic for the same.
Please clean the wound with soap and water and betadine solution and get vaccines immediately take care.

It is not dangerous to take vaccine after an interval of atleast 4 weeks from previous course.
Usually you will get minor side effects like redness, pain at site and fever and myalgia only which resolves in 2 -3 days
do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.
