There are [no ill effects](https://www.petcoach.co/article/can-vaccines-harm-my-pet) that I am aware associated with getting [rabies](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/rabies/) vaccinations close together. Just the usual possible side effects of any vaccination are possible. These may include, lethargy, fever, pain at the site of injection or a swelling at the site of injection. As long as she seems healthy, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
