Hello. Thank you for your question. As long as this is a dog you know and can observe, there is no reason for you to get vaccinated. If the dog begins to show signs of rabies, then you should contact your doctor and begin rabies vaccines. However, if the dog does not exhibit signs of rabies, there is no need to.
