Brief Answer:
You need not worry.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. In case of a dog bite, anti rabies immunoglobulin as well as anti-rabies vaccine has protected you for now and it is unlikely to have any negative effect in the future.
However, in case of a subsequent dog bite at a later date, you might still need to get vaccinated again.
