Is It Necessary To Take Rabipur Vaccine Again For Cat Bite If It Was Taken Last Year?

Should I take rabipur vaccine again this year.. Last year i had got a minor cat bite (just scratch) i had 3 or 4 doses of rabipur and tetnus. Again this year i've got a cat bite and have taken one injection of rabipur and tetnus. So I want to ask you that should I take complete doses of rabipur or is it not necessory. Thanks in advance.

Even if you have completed a full course of rabipur last year it's recommended to take two doses again after this exposure -one dose immediately and one after 3 days.
