###Human: A stray dog's leg just touched my foot. Should I take a precautionary vaccination? ###Assistant: Hi. I understand your apprehension. As it is already one week since you had the dog touch your feet and there was no bleed or break of skin as such. No vaccination is required now. You should have thoroughly cleaned the region immediately after the dog had touched your leg.  I would like to know if you have any idea about the present status of the dog? As a watch of the dog for 10 days post-bite would be ideal. Also, precautionary vaccination is not usually advised. Only, a post-exposure vaccine is advised in rabies. If anyone has a bite or break of the skin or if there is lick by a dog on a broken/cut skin or if there is any bleed from the site of bite then vaccine is recommended. For a lick or fondling on an intact skin, only cleaning and washing the wound in running tap water is sufficient.
