Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern. Your rabioes vaccination was given a long time back.
So, in case your dog is vaccinated properly, you may not take vaccination.
In case, your dog is not vaccinated, you should get vaccination done immediately as you never know, if your dog is rabid. So, why to take the risk.
If your dog remains normal, get your dog vaccinated properly to prevent future complications.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
