Contact with saliva of a rabid dog to the intact skin do not cause any chance of getting rabies. But if there is any cut or scratch injury in the hand there is a minor chance of getting rabies. In case of having intact skin there is no need of taking post exposure prophylaxis. In disrupted skin you may have a need to take antirabies vaccine prophylaxis. There are so many vaccination schedules depending upon the route and number of site of administration. Single site intramuscular administration on 0,3,7,14 days since exposure is commonly followed schedule.
