Brief Answer:
No vaccination required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at the HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
In your case you need to do nothing as dog bit you 3 years ago. No vaccine required as you don't have any risk of rabies. But remember in future if dog bites you then you must take full schedule of rabies vaccination as recommended 6 doses and not only one vaccine.
Take care
Hope I answered your query
Rating and review will be appreciated
