Hello, thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Rabies has a variable incubation period varies from few days to months and sometimes can occur after many years of dog bite or saliva exposure
If you have any symptoms like excessive fatigue, muscle spasms,poor appetite, dizziness please get your self investigated
A RFFIT test will give you a confirmation and you can initiate immunoglobulin therapy early to prevent complications of rabies

I want to know those injection which I take in 2014 that not work to stop rabies virus
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Hello again it is not that the vaccine has not worked. But in many cases body fails to respond to the vaccine.
But why are you so sure that you have contracted rabies? Please get the test done then decide what has to be done.
But if you still want to know it will usually be the post exposure vaccine
Dont worry or don't come to any conclusions get the test done first.
Best wishes
