You need not take a repeat vaccination as you were fully vaccinated 2 days ago. If it was your own pet dog not going out with stray dogs the vaccine was not needed if the animal is healthy at the end of the 10-day period, then no rabies exposure occurred and the person bitten will not need rabies vaccination. If the animal is not a domestic dog, cat or ferret, it should be captured, humanely destroyed and the brain sent for rabies testing.
