Is The Post-exposure Prophylaxis I Completed (with Delays) Sufficient After Being Scratched And Exposed To Saliva From A Street Dog?

I had a exposure with street dog on 20th march, it scratched me and as he was barking his saliva sprayed on my lips and nose. I had put post exposure prophylaxis, on day 0, day 4 (1 day delay, day 8 (new schedule due to 1 day delay, day 15 and day 30 (1 day delay). Is this post exposure prophylaxis enough? Note:the bite happened away from my home and I couldn t find that dog again to monitor it.
