How Much Vaccine For Dog Bit Be Taken?

Hi, I am Roshan Karna from Kathmandu, Nepal. Last night our family dog bit me in my fingers. The dog is not vaccinated. Today I had visited hospital, and the doctor injected me TT and Rabipur vaccine dose. Also adviced for four more doses of Rabipur injection on 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day. Is it sufficient to take four more vaccines or do i need further medical attention in future.
