HI
If you can observe the dog for 10 days and the dog remains fine in this period you will not require any rabies vaccine .
But if you want watch the dog or if the dog dies in next 10 days then you will need Rabies vaccine .
But you will require Tetanus vaccine if you didn't had it in last 3 years.
