A rabies vaccine does not need to have a booster after the initial one (like other vaccines). It is given the first time at 4 months of age (as you have done) and then after that it is a once a year vaccination. Pelly has already had more than he needed. It won't hurt him though. He will not need another vaccine until one year after the last vaccine was given.
