Hello. If Beauty has had a rabies vaccination in the past 6-7 months, usually given at 3-4 months of age, then she should be protected from rabies. Keep in mind that no vaccination can claim 100% efficacy 100% of the time, so we do need to be cautious if she was bitten, or she bit someone. But for the most part, she is considered fully protected. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
