No rabies: you do not get rabies if the dog touch you with his nose you are vaccinated and the dog is vaccinated there is nothing to worry about

You are safe: After you complete the primary series of anti-rabies injections you are covered for any exposures for 2 years. Your dog is likely not carrying the virus but local conditions are a better gauge of when these animals are a risk.
