Hello,
The vaccine is still valid even though in delay and for more the dog was vaccinated so you don't need to do vaccination or antibodies. You only have to wash it well with soap and water and also disinfect it will alcohol or betadine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
