Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
There is no need as such.
But, bear in mind that rabies is a dangerous viral infection which has close to 100 percent mortality rate.
You don't want to take risks with that.
So better get immunised since you will be handling dogs.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management
Best regards.
