Rabies: it's unlikely that you have been exposed to rabies again but the injection that you got in April would be sufficient

No: Once you complete the primary series, the vaccine is considered protective for any exposure for 2 years. For those who work in high risk areas or occupations the recommend antibody testing or booster shot after 2 yrs.
