Immunity will not be compromised as the rabies antigen composition is the same for both vaccines.

Changing the brand of rabies vaccine for your dog (for example, from Nobivac Rabies Vaccine to Defensor Rabies Vaccine) is generally safe and acceptable, and it does not compromise immunity as long as the vaccine is given according to the proper schedule. Both brands contain inactivated rabies virus and are designed to stimulate protective immunity, so switching brands does not reduce effectiveness.
