You may not require vaccination if there is no bite , scratch or nibbling of uncovered skin, contamination of mucus membranes with their saliva etc.
Touching or feeding of animals, Licks on intact skin doesn't require vaccination.
In case of any doubt contact your local physician and get yourself clinically examined.
