Did you see blood oozing from wound? Even though annual vaccination is done, post bite vaccination is compulsory. Since it's already been 6 months, I advise you to get post bite antirabies vaccination done.

Already 2 rabies done

Dr. Tajunnisa M

This is a category 2 bite and it requires post bite anti rabies vaccination. According to new studies, it's been proved that one or 2 doses are enough if vaccination is done in last 3 months, since it's already been 6 months, it is advisable to get complete vaccination done and definitely there are no side effects instead the antibody titre will be maintained.
