Laws are different in different states (and probably countries as well). Some localities have a rule that some vaccines are required, while others are not. You might want to talk to a holistic vet in your state for the laws pertaining to where you and the animal live. The less preferred way is to give the animal two shots within a year of each other. Under these conditions, the second shot is considered a "booster" -- in which case the animal doesn't have to get another shot for 3 years. You must keep the certificate citing the date when the vaccines were administered, in order to qualify for this. The irony is that there is no difference between the content of the "booster" or "regular" shots -- it's just that the vaccine is considered "activated" for a longer time if the shots are within a year of each other. The more preferable strategy is to get a letter from your vet citing that the animal has health problems that vaccinations will aggravate. Should the animal bite someone, you can then get the levels of either "active" vaccine material OR the body's response to the vaccine (I forget which), measured. My vet told me that she always saw that the blood levels indicated vaccine activity. (In fact, her veterinarian textbook says that one rabies vaccine is good for life.) Legally, the animal's human may still be required to vaccinate, but the evidence from taking the blood levels is convincing and you may be able to convince a judge to overlook a vaccination. If the animals are kept indoors, there is a better chance of preventing further vaccinations. Be aware that should you leave the animal overnight in a kennel (such as for surgery), you might be required to vaccinate for something called "kennel cough." Good luck.
