Since it is your friend's dog and it has been 2 months since the incident and the dog is still healthy & alive, you don't have to worry about infection.

If a pet is vaccinated, there is nothing to worry about much But as a basic precautionary measure wash your hands properly after touching/licked by the pet.
If you feel like a consulting doctor, Please schedule an appointment.
