Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this dog bite. He does not need another sett of anti rabies. However, if he didn't complete his TT session, he should get it scheduled and completed. These vaccines when completed offer as many as 10years of full protection.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
