Here is an interesting article. Take from it what you will. People ahve to make their own decisions. I am not against vaccines but my research has shown that one vaccine is enough for life. I also have numerous research sent to me saying that the rabies vaccine is only 50% effective to begin with and any pets that did get the rabies vaccine are the ones that contracted rabies. Also the rabies virus is VERY delicate. If not kept at a certain body temperature...it dies...so your dog has to be bit to contract it. It is very difficut to get it from a dead animal or saliva in the wild because it is not being kept at the correct temperature. I do wonder...how come so many wolves and Coyotes are not found to have rabies? Cats (as there are so many strays) that aren't? These are animals hanging out and killing things in the woods constantly. I am not into RAW feeding or against vaccines...just the over use of them.
Also much research showing that boosters can sometimes null the original vaccine and leave your pet not protected.
Dr. Dodds is doing a study on the effectiveness of one rabies vaccine staying in the body. I can't wait for this study to get done but it will take years. She suggests no rabies vaccine until after 6mo of age and that be it for life (I believe is what she suggests). You can search for her protocol on the web.
I believe my dog's health was GREATLY effected by overvaccinating espcially the parvo and rabies. I spent two years of hell from it. I also have friends (more then one) who's pet started to get seizures after their last vaccine. I do not want to get into an argument and respect people's decisions. I give this link and information to give people an option. I have articles on email from a vets perspective about rabies but I dont' have time to look right now.
Here are quick links I did find:
