Hello,
The previous vaccine your daughter had is pretty long time back. Also your dog is not completely vaccinated. I suggest you take her to the doctor and get the wound checked. Depending on the severity the doctor will advise vaccine schedule.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
