You'll need to do it again if you come into contact with questionable animals. Having a sufficiently recent rabies vaccine (and I expect you are well past that window) means you don't need the immunoglobin that non-vaccinated people get at the start of their rabies treatment for a head start on fighting the virus, but you do still need follow-up shots. Though I've heard the immunoglobin is usually the most unpleasant part of the process.
Regardless, I'll be staying away from any situations that could result in rabies. Thank you for the info.
