Yes, the most common zoonotic disease that dogs are vaccinated against is rabies. While the vaccine protects the dogs against rabies, the primary reason for vaccinating dogs is to protect the people that work with the dog against rabies infection. This public health practice has led to the eradication of canine-strain rabies in the United States, although there is still skunk-strain, raccoon-strain and bat-strain rabies.

No, but you can see an allergist to see if there would be medications or injections that would help. Injections are often effective (but not always) in reducing the reactions by providing desensitization to the allergen. These "allergy shots" are not the same as vaccinations, but are somewhat similar, and they can be expensive and inconvenient.

Keeping the dog groomed and clean will help (have someone else do that work) and sometimes removing textiles that hold the allergens around the house can also help (such as removing carpeting and using tile or hardwood and removing drapery). Additionally, meticulous cleaning can help but is nearly impossible to do well enough if the Allergies are bad.

Always wash your hands after touching the dog or their brushes and food and water bowls, it is usually the proteins in the dander (dandruff) and urine and saliva that causes the allergic response, do not rub your nose or eyes after handling their items or the dog.
