Brief Answer:
No need of vaccine.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for posting your query.
See unless you had any further dog bite after your last dose of Rabies Vaccine there is no need for any vaccination.
What I am sensing is you are developing phobia ( unnatural fear ) for dogs . I recommend you meet a Psychiatrist who shall counsel you to get you out of this fear.
Hope this information was useful to you .
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards.
