Contact of saliva of animal with broken skin is a high risk factor.
If wound is active bleeding then you should get rabies vaccine + immunoglobulin.+ tetanus vaccine as well if not vaccinated in last 10 years.
If wound is not actively bleeding or you were previously vaccinated for rabies with full course, you only need 2 booster doses and no immunoglobulin.

Human to human transmission of virus has never been documented. As the person is asymptomatic after exposure there is negligible chance of spreading of virus. No need to worry.

Hi,
understand your concern. Yes, you do not need to be vaccinated just by a lick of rabies infected dog. The contamination with the infected dog is always direct bite or lick on the open wound/scratch. If the skin is intact, there is no need to worry. Hope this helps!
