My dog got a rabies shot too soon. Is he okay? Why is he tired?

Question

My dog was accidentally given a rabies shot today. His last one was in June 2018. He’s supposed to get them every two years. Do I need to be concerned or take him somewhere considering this vaccination has been done twice now within a 7 month time span. He’s currently tired and panting a little bit.

This is absolutely no problem. We often vaccinate against rabies more often when dogs need to travel abroad and need to show a particularly high vaccination titer. It is a normal side effect that your dog is a bit tired after the vaccination.
