Should pregnant mares get rabies vaccine before or after foaling?

Question

I have two broodmares that are both due to foal on March 23rd. They are due for their annual rabies vaccine in mid-February. Is it safe to give them their rabies shot now or better to wait until after the foals are born? Pet's info: Farm Animal | Horse | Female | unspayed | 1000 lbs

The AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners) recommends vaccinating pregnant mares against rabies approximately 4-6 weeks before foaling. You can read their recommendations at the link below. https://aaep.org/guidelines/vaccination-guidelines/core-vaccination-guidelines/rabies
