If you have taken full course of vaccine, along with 2 boosters, right in 6 months, you do not need vaccine, if later, go for full vaccine.

"Since you have a documented history of receiving a full primary course in September 2025 and booster doses in October 2025, you are considered 'previously immunized.' According to WHO and national guidelines, for any re-exposure occurring within a few years of full vaccination, you do not need a full 5-dose course. Only two booster doses are required to 'wake up' your immune memory
Next Steps
Day 0 & Day 3: Take one dose of the Rabies vaccine immediately (Day 0) and the second dose on Day 3. This is sufficient for full protection.
Wound Hygiene: Do not ignore local wound care. Wash the area with soap and running water for 15 minutes. This reduces the viral load significantly at the site of entry.
Vaccination Record: Keep your previous certificates and these new booster dates together in your medical file.
Tetanus Check: If you haven't had a Tetanus shot in the last 6 months to 1 year, taking a TT booster along with your Day 0 Rabies dose is a good clinical practice

You’re already well protected from previous vaccination, so for this re-exposure only 2 booster doses Day 0 & 3 are needed, not a full course consult me if you want exact timing guidance.

Its too long after vaccination. You have exposure after approx 2 year ,so better if you go for complete scheduled vaccination.
