Is Anti Rabies Shot Mandatory After A Dog Bite By A Vaccinated Dog?

Hi i was bitten by a fully vaccinated dog 4 days ago. Ive only got a tetanus shot. Do i need anti rabies vaccine? The bite is on my foot so its taking time to heal as it bleeds when i walk too much due to pressure. I had applied an anti septic and put a band aid after a while as it was bleeding. But the wound is much better now.
