Single dose rabies vaccines are available through Revival Animal Health but there are over 30 states that it cannot be sold to. The only other thing to do is ask your vet if he uses the single dose vaccine and, if not, could he get it for you. It seems like it's up to us, as individuals, to make sure to do what's best for our dogs as many vets cling to outdated protocols, primarily for business reasons. They get to cash in not only when they vaccinate a dog but also to treat the problems caused by them. I don't think they're sinister minded, just not thinking (well, maybe thinking about the bottom line). I worry as much about the long term effects of vaccines as I do the immediate reactions to them. As a breeder, I especially worry about the potential effects on puppies born to often vaccinated dogs.
