HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You would not need repeat immunization with this bite because you are fully immunized and this immunity would last for a few years. In some cases , it can last up to 10 years.
You should also make sure that your tetanus immunization is up to date because that infection can also occur as a result of bites.
I hope this helps
