Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water for about 15 minutes.
Usually if a complete course was taken then vaccine is not required before 1 year
If there was any bleeding/If the dog is unknown or dies within 10 days visit a nearby Hospital with a Anti Rabies Clinic and let them decide if you need a booster shot/Anti Rabies Serum

As you have already taken the booster, there is nothing to worry about. Please keep taking booster shot regularly if being exposed to or caring for dogs regularly
