Rabies Vaccination Query
I am 26 year male. Yesterday a dog licked my bag after half an hour, I touched that bag with my hand and again after 10 min I simply pour a little water on that hand and accidentally some water I used for gargling. Can it become a indirect case of rabies virus transmission, do I need to be vaccinated. Additionally i don't have any cut or wound
