Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. The injection which is given two years before is not valid now. You have to take anti rabies vaccine now also. Immunoglobulin won't be needed as it is domestic dog and just scratch. Wash the area thoroughly with antiseptic soap and water and approach your doctor for anti rabies vaccine.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
