First do a thorough search and look for any signs of bite marks.
If no any injury visible, there is no need for the vaccination

Thoroughly examine the child..Look for any scratch mark too..if there is no bite or scratches then no need of vaccine..but even if u find a little scratch,wash it thoroughly and get anti rabies vaccine...Dog bite is very dangerous..
