You do not need to take any vaccines now. The incubation period for Rabies virus is 2-3 months. So as its been 8 years now, the dog bite won't affect you now.
So u don't need any vaccines now.
If you need any further assistance then you can consult me online on Practo.
Next Steps
Relax, a dog bite 8 years ago can't affect you now.
