Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) The tingling sensation is due to nerve damage and not specific to rabies.
2) I suggest you still take anti rabies shots though dog is vaccinated
Let me know if you have any more queries.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
