If you are certain that you dog is not rabid or infected with rabies you dont have to. But if you want to be on the safe side. Then go to a nearby hospital and get those shots.

yes, you should go to the nearest hospitals even if your dogs is already vaccinated. You could not be sure that you are safe from rabies. such cases if your dog bites you and it left a big bites and some flesh is rip off. you really need to go to the doctors to receive the necessary medication aside from the danger of rabies..the dog teeth may have bacteria which is very harmful to you and may results in gangrene or some infection..It is better to take precaution than its becomes too late..
