Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this dog bite. It is unlikely that you were contaminated by saliva from this dog bite incidence. If there was no blood or wound, there is no need for vaccination right now. However, because dog bite may be common in your area, consider getting a full vaccination for rabies so as not to be worried in future.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
