All 3 of the diseases i was vaccinated for regularly kill people and can cause severe harm even if someone survives. As I am not an idiot I would prefer to avoid that if at all possible. I opted not to get Hep B, Rabies, Dengue fever vaccinations based on a risk profile and where I was traveling but I could and would have gotten shots for those too if the risk profile were higher.
I would get that rabies shot at least. It’s incurable when symptoms start, an absolute miserable way to go, you might not even notice that you got a bat bite while sleeping, and it’s prevalent in wildlife you can’t control - and prevalent in nearly all countries except most western european states (and even there sometimes cases pop up).
I was advised by the nurse that as long as we’re within 24 hours of a major hospital (family and me) they can pump us full of antibodies and we should be fine. And also not to pet dogs, cats, monkeys etc.

I also vaccinate my kids for the same reasons.
