We have had an outbreak of rabies in skunks... just published last week... 5 miles from here.
We always get the Rabies vaccines. I don't think the others are safe enough or necessary enough to balance the harm they do.
Cats can get rabies from bats too. Where we live in the summer, 25% bats tested positive for rabies. Just picking up a bat in the mouth, can transmit the disease (from the fur when bats groom themselves), and also humans can catch rabies from bat droppings in barns and other buildings where the bats have gotten in.
.
The safest rabies vaccine for cats is the PureVax brand(ajuvant free), but it has to be given yearly.
Our late Tippy, had two severe vaccine reactions to Rabies (with adjuvant) 3 yr.
I won't use that type again.
