Hi
No there is no need of getting vaccine again.
Previous vaccine will be suffice.
I hope he have had One Rabies human immunoglobulin booster dose also.
If he doesn't had then it's better to have the same ASAP or maximum Within 7 days of fresh bite.
Next Steps
*Injection Rabies Human Immunoglobulin (RIG) is advised
*proper wound care
Health Tips
*plenty of fluids
