No risk of rabies in this situation. Rabies spreads only through bites scratches or saliva contact with wounds.
What you described does not cause rabies no need to worry.

"There is absolutely zero risk of Rabies in the scenario you described. Rabies is transmitted only through direct contact with the saliva or nervous tissue of an infected animal, typically via a deep bite, scratch, or lick on broken skin/mucosa. A dog merely running after you, or a mosquito entering your eye, are not recognized modes of Rabies transmission according to WHO and NCDC guidelines
Next Steps
Eye Care: If your eye is still red or irritated from the mosquito, wash it gently with clean water or saline. Do not rub it excessively. If the redness persists, a simple antibiotic eye drop may be used after a local consultation.
No Vaccine Required: You do not need to take the Anti-Rabies Vaccine (ARV) or Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) for this incident. Unnecessary vaccination is not recommended and provides no additional benefit in this case.
Manage Anxiety: It is common to feel fearful after a stray dog encounter, but stay grounded in medical facts. You are clinically safe.

No, there is no rabies risk from a dog merely running after you or from mosquitoes in the eyes. Rabies spreads through bites/scratches or saliva entering broken skin/mucosa from an infected animal. If there was no bite, scratch, or saliva contact, no vaccine is needed. Rinse your eyes with clean water if irritated.
