What will happen if a dog got a rabies shot in the past three month and he will be getting vaccinated again this moment?

Unless your dog had an allergic reaction to a vaccine, there is not a concern with him getting another vaccination within a few months (or even weeks) of the rabies vaccine. If he had the rabies vaccine already, however, he should not need the rabies vaccine again for a year (the rabies vaccine, unlike the distemper vaccine, does not require additional boosters when dogs are puppies).
