Rabies Vaccine - Dog Bite

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I had 5 shots of vaccination 9 months ago for rabies. On 29th June 2021, a dog bit me on my leg and on 30th June 2021, I took a shot of rabies vaccine (Rabivax). How many more dose should I take? Should I take the rest 4 doses? Or 2 doses? I have recently recovered from Covid-19 (mild) (around 1.5 months back). Any advise will be helpful. Attaching the wound image.
