Q: should i take anti rabies vaccine again if dog bites me within three months of completing pre exposure rabies vaccination?

: Contact your local health authority. In theory, the protection provided by post exposure rabies injections will protect for up to 2 years. However, given the seriousness of the disease some local agencies will re-treat if an exposure is considered highly likely to be from a rabid animal.
