2015 i got my anti rabies vaccine shots, but i got bitten again by a dog. do i need to get shots again?

Maybe: You are considered protected for at least 2 years after completing the series, After that point people at risk get a booster or have their antibodies checked. You may want to check with local health agency to see if your exposure was considered worthy of a vaccine. If there is no rabies in the area it may not be needed to begin with.
