Hello dear
I understand your concern
You have taken full dose of the rabies with the booster dose.
It will effective for the next 5 year and you are protective against the rabies.
No need to take any booster dose.
You can take tetanus toxoid to prevent the tetaunus and take of the wound by applying betadine and neomycin ointment.
Hope this may help you
