Despite the puppy having obtained one dose of vaccine and your kid getting the vaccine of the previous year, it is still better to visit a doctor. They can perform bites and give any treatment or further injections which are needed. The best doctors in case of rabies issues would be infectious disease specialists or pediatricians.
