Is There A Risk Of Rabies From Coming Into Close Contact With A Seal In Saltwater, And Should I Get A Rabies Shot?

Hi Doctors there have been cases of rabies going around in seals, and today I came in very close contact while surfing, and I feel as though we were surfing in its saliva, but we did not get attacked or bitten. Is there a possibility I could ve gotten rabies from the seal through the saltwater? And should I go get a rabies shot?
