No, the anti-rabies vaccine and the anti-tetanus vaccine are not directly associated; they are separate vaccines targeting different diseases. The anti-rabies vaccine is administered following a potential rabies exposure, while the anti-tetanus vaccine is given to prevent tetanus infection. However, in some cases of animal bites, if the patient's tetanus vaccination status is not up to date, a tetanus booster may be given alongside the rabies vaccine as part of the treatment protocol. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific recommendations.

Typically, the rabies vaccine your vet gives to your cat/dog/other animal lasts one year the first time given, and the following rabies shot is usually for three years.

Typically a vet will need to administer the rabies vaccine so that you can get a current and legal rabies certificate, though this can vary by state. You can administer it yourself if the horse will absolutely never leave your property, but it is best to have a current rabies certificate, which will require you to have a vet give the shot.As well as Rabies, horses should also receive the Tetanus vaccine. Tetanus lives everywhere and can be fatal.

It is required that all dogs be vaccinated for Rabies, but rarely there are problems, the vaccine is a weakend version of the Rabies virus, so the body can fight it very easily and then it can remember how to kill the acutal strong Rabies if they get infected, but sometimes the Rabies virus in the vaccine is not weakend very much and the body can't kill it, like its suppose to. But that is not that common.
