I Was Bitten By My Pet Dog On 18th Dec

I was bitten by my pet dog on 18th Dec 2015 and got 4 injections 0,3,7,28 ( I delayed last injection by 5 days).
Now on 28 may 2016 again one dog(this time street dog) has bitten me, wound was not deep just a line, but blood just came out till the layer.
I took one shot of day 0 + one titness on the same day from one hospital and then went to another government hospital on third day for day 3 shot (famous for dog bite vaccination), doctor there (without seeing the wound as I told him it is minor) told me that as I have been vaccinated 5 months back I need no vaccine for a year and sent me back.

I read over the internet that previously vaccinated person need two shots 0 and 3 but I got only one shot of day 0.
I am really confused and today is day 10 after exposure what should I do I am really scared of rabies after knowing its incurable ones symptoms are seen.
Am I am fully protected I am literally tensed and can't focus on anything else.
