Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

Rabies vaccines are known to provide adequate immunity for at-least three years. In many dogs, the immunity is even longer and there will always be some amount of immunity if they have been vaccinated before. However, in countries like the Philippines where rabies is more prevalent, it's recommended to get a vaccine every year to ensure the immunity is high. I hope that helps to answer your question and all is well with Jewel.
