Rabies not transmitted by licking intact skin so no chances of you getting rabies but if you are a dog lover and generally in contact with community dogs I recommend to get a pre exposure vaccine done just to be on a safer side

rabies is not spread via licking on intact skin. if the pet is seemingly healthy after all these days. then you don't have to get vaccinated or worry about this. licking is usually a means of bonding and showing affection for dogs. Again, don't worry.

Since your dog crossed a 10-day observation period, your dog is fine and you are also safe
