This incident does not carry any risk of rabies infection. Rabies spreads only through direct contact of infected animal saliva or neural tissue with fresh wounds, mucosa, or bites.
In your case, the matchbox was an inanimate object that had fallen on the ground, and there’s no evidence of fresh saliva contamination or dog bite. Hence, no rabies exposure or vaccination is needed.
However, if anxiety or fear of infection is troubling you, I can guide you in detail and assess your case personally to clear all doubts.
