The rabies vaccine is one of the worst vaccines we have. It have a lot of bad side effects and does not even give protection for long. So a general vaccination against rabies will cause more harm then good. And rabies have an almost 100% fatality rate after the first symptom. So if you are unable to diagnose rabies before the first symptom or at least not start treatment then you are most likely dead.

The good thing is that rabies have almost been exterminated. It is confined to only some outbreaks in the world. And we do use vaccines heavily in these areas, mostly on animals. This means that only a handful of people get rabies a year in the entire world.

my mother used to work for a county health department... she was super excited to ride in a helicopter when they dropped vaccine laced bait in the woods for all the critters to inoculate themselves with..
