Do I need a rabies vaccine?

10 days ago my partner and I woke up to a bat on our bedroom floor. It flew at me, and I hid under a blanket while my partner hit it with a book and trapped it. My roommate got his snake gloves and released it out the window. None of us noticed bites or scratches afterwords. Do any of us need rabies vaccines?
