Pet's info: Dog | English Springer Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 20 lbs
I've had to give my dog a rabies vaccine before sh'e been chipped in order to get a license, but I need her to have another vaccine after being chipped in order to take her into the UK. Do you know how long I have to wait?

The rules are different, depending on where the dog is coming from. This page: https://www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad/rabies-vaccination-boosters-and-blood-tests may be helpful. If you're asking whether it's safe to vaccinate her again, it should be fine, and as you already know you don't really have any choice, as the UK requires that the microchip be in place when the rabies vaccine is given.
