Hello, it is generally recommended that puppies receive their rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that a rabies vaccine should be given no sooner than at 3 months of age. Regardless of the time given initially, your dog should have another vaccine at 1 year of age. Look for any evidence of hives, swollen face, or lethargy as these may indicate a vaccine reactions. Your dog will be considered to be protected against rabies 28 days after administration of the vaccines. Hope this helps and best of luck.
