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.
