No need to go for Rabies vaccine, Virus only transmit from saliva of infected rabid dog through bite wound.

Rabies spread only via bite wound or fresh saliva of the infected dog on an individuals bleeding wound. In your case, there is no wound, so there no need to worry. Vaccination is not must.

If there was no bite wound then no need to go for vaccination as rabies is transmitted by the bite of infected animal
