I'm very sorry but I cannot read those vaccination labels. We can only enlarge the photo so much. From what I think I can see, it doesn't look like a rabies vaccination has been done. Whether or not you need a rabies vaccine for yourself, I don't know, I am not allowed to comment on human medical issues. If you are worried you need to see your human doctor for advice.
