My dog got his rabies vaccine early. Is there anything to worry about?

Hi I just had my dog vaccinated and realized he is not due for rabies until 11/15. He had his last one 11/15/2018. He is 8 years old. Is there anything I should be concerned about?

Hi there. Do you mean, he had his rabies vaccine a little early - since it wasn't actually due until Nov. 15th? That won't cause any issues at all, and shouldn't be anything to worry about. It's very common to give vaccines a few months early in some cases, if that works out more easily to get everything on the same schedule. :)
