Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
If you are previously vaccinated within a year than you have to take only two vaccine doses.
1st on day zero and and 2nd on the third day of previous day. (Day zero means the day dog bite you)
You have to take this vaccine when other animals also bite.
In your case, dog just licked you. There was no bite. so if no aberration on your hands than no any vaccine required.
But for safe side, you can have two doses.
Hope this will help you.
Take care...
