There is no need for any vaccination, medicine or test as of now.
Most common disease transmitted via animal bite is Rabies. And it can only be transmitted via Rabid animals ( stray dog, pet dog who is not vaccinated, bats, foxes, raccoons, skunks, jackals, mongooses ).
Thank you for asking.
Hope I was able to curb your doubt.
Stay Healthy. :)
