Dear Kristine Perez, Hi.
I can understand your concern for your daughter.
Since, she was given three doses of anti rabies vaccine last year, the vaccination done may not sufficient enough to protect her against rabies following a second puppy bite.
So, she should receive TWO booster doses of anti rabies vaccine on 0 and 3 days.
Hope this answers your query.
