Hi Roxane, One of the clinics here in NJ is also going to a one year rabies vaccine - I asked them in particular why, and they said it's a slightly different vaccine, one that uses a different adjuvant (delivery liquid), and that it has a shorter immunity duration. Since they are not my primary vet (only my emergency clinic) I did not push it, but if you want I can find out more about it.
