No: Full doses of rabies vaccination with recent booster should provide adequate protection. If you want to be sure, you can have a blood test measuring antirabies antibody titer.

Booster: I believe your immunity to rabies would last 10 years after the booster shots. A public health expert or infectious disease specialist could confirm this advice.
