Street dog licked my hand

2019-03-13 06:04:36
Hi, on 11 the morning, one street dog touched its nose and licked on hand. After 10 mins I washed it. It didn't bite. Also no wound on my hand. Should I take vaccine for this? Or is it fine?

As far as the skin on which dog licked was intact ( no cuts what's over minor they may seem), you need not   a vaccine.
Next Steps
Just relax. You have nothing to worry about if it's over an intact skin
Health Tips
If you still feel anxious about the same, feel free to post another question or contact me.

Hello dog licking is no indication for vaccinations unless it licks over a wound or scratch. So need not worry.
