Hello! you have to again take complete vaccination if the previous vaccination crosses a period of 3 months.
1. Situation a: dog bite > complete vaccination > dog bite again after 3 months > get complete vaccination again.
2. Situation b: dog bite > complete vaccination > dog bite again within 3 months > only local wound care.
You come under situation a. Please do finish all the doses your doctor has advised. That's the proper treatment.
Do follow your doctor's advice.

If you have been exposed within three months of complete vaccination, you need not take the vaccine again. Otherwise you have to take booster doses.

No, in my opinion you don't have to restart. Just the wound should be washed properly with soap and water.
