Found my dog with a dead baby rabbit in his mouth. i took it, threw away. then he licked my wound. he's vaccinated. anything i should worry about ?

Dead rabbit: A healthy dog that is properly vaccinated isn't likely to transmit serious disease by a friendly tongue swipe. A dead rabbit is another story. But if there was no skin break or exposure of contaminated body material from the animal. you are probably safe. Use gloves next time. Stay safe☺️
