Uh, the rabies vaccine is the same regardless of species.

Glancing at Wikipedia, there seem to be a wide variety of different rabies vaccines, but, yeah, ones used on animals largely seem to be multi species.

And there are programs to distribute bait laced with oral vaccines to target, among other animals, racoons. So I guess they are vaccinated, at least in some areas. TIL.

Huh, I'd never thought about it like that but yeah, the vaccine should depend on the targeted illness, not the recipient.
