Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
You have already taken complete cover of vaccination and no need for any additional rabipur but do take tetanus vaccine also if you have not taken yet.
You are getting too frequent dog bites, be careful of stray dogs and keep distance from sreet dogs.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.

Brief Answer:
No more rabipur for this exposure
Detailed Answer:
Hi sourab
Welcome back.
You should not panic at all because you have already crossed the dangerous period and now you have been immunized.
In unimmunized bites there is an option to give human rabies immunoglobulin intradermal at bite site but that must be given within first week of the bite. Anyway that is not a need now in your case.
You must protect yourself from further bites and offcourse get tetanus immunization.
Take care.
