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, till now dog seems to be fine and do I need to be vaccinated. Additionally the hand which came in contact with dog saliva does not have any wound or cut.

You have no chances of getting rabies as based on your history the saliva which is dried and on another surface cannot infect you. Moreover if the dog is healthy after 10 days it is not an infected dog and is not infective
