Some do...at least to a degree. One vet I asked charges almost $250
for a rabies titer and it has to be repeated yearly.

There's some group somewhere doing research on the rabies
vaccination and they have found that kittens vaccinated still had
immunity in their system four years later. That's with the normal
one year vaccine. They suspect there's immunity up to seven years
later.
I told my vet one time that if they require an animal to be
vaccinated to be seen so then they vaccinate them during surgery or
the day of the appointment it was stupid because it takes time for
the body to develop an immunity after the vaccination so the
vaccination done that day was useless. It doesn't offer protection
for the animal being seen or for animals at the clinic that day.

That's just for the cash! That is so stupid and it shows what they
really care about.
