How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?

My mother aged 60 was bitten by a dog on 2nd march, 2017. She started her vaccination from the same day. The course was for 5 vaccines starting from 2 march to 1 April. But on 29th March,2017 another dog (may be rabid as it trying to bite anyone) bite her but there was no wound. Should she go for vaccination for second time also.
