18 months back i had rabies vaccine after dog bit and then post 5 months again i had two rabies booster shot for dog bite exposure. yesterday i have been bitten by home rat, do i still need to take rabies vaccine?

Yes unless..: It is likely that you still have adequate rabies virus-neutralizing antibody in your system. If so (you can prove), you do not need. Otherwise, you need 2 shots 3 days apart.
