A member asked:
Does giving rabies vaccine to the dog protect the people around him from rabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From that dog !: Vaccinating a dog for rabies prior to their exposure does remove that dog from being a future source of rabies. It would not reduce the chance any local person could get rabies from a different dog/animal.
