Brief Answer:
should be okay
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question
If you mean by a complete course of Rabipur that you had all five doses then you should not need further treatment.
You can get a titer to see if you have made antibodies to the rabies. If this is positive then that would mean that you are protected against rabies and that even if you got bitten again you would not become infected.
Since it is making you anxious to think about it, it is probably a good idea for you to get a rabies titer to make sure that the Rabipur vaccine worked and that you are protected.
I wish you the best,
