Yes, to be safe: You should closely watch the dog if you can and immediately call the doctor if you get any symptoms. CDC recommends people who have been vaccinated " previously" to get 2 additional (booster) doses; one right away and the second on 3rd day. Pl stay away from stray dogs!

Rabies vaccine: There are two types of rabies vaccine. One is the immune globulin which is after exposure and the other is the preventive one. If you received both vaccines then there is no need to get the rabies immune globulin again. You might only need two doses of the rabies vaccine three days apart. Always see the doctor if you are expose to possible rabies
