Thank you just concerned

Answer
The only way she can contract rabies is by being bit by a rabid animal or breathing in infected bat dung that is aerosolized.
If she is current on her rabies vaccinations you have nothing to worry about.
I am not sure what your question really is but I hope I answered it!
