Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There is no need to start afresh , just complete the course . Just in case of further re exposure at any point of time after completed post exposure prophylaxis, two doses are needed on days 0 and 3.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
