Hi,
You have completed full vaccination schedule for rabies. It can protect for one year. So no need to repeat vaccination. I suggest you can investigate with your titre for anti rabies antibody estimation to check whether you have enough protective antibody or not. You can eat non veg foods and no problem in that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
