Hello dear
I understand your concern
Do not worry
Rabies vaccine is give full protection up to 5 year after the successful vaccination.
As you have taken rabies vaccination just before the 32 days, no need of the more vaccination. Just take supportive treatment depend on the bite nature
Be safe and be aware of the dog.
Stay healthy.
Hope this may help you
