No, it will not affect rabies vaccine efficacy.
Another thing to say, TETANUS TOXOID shot is given I any open wound/ cut injuries that may be contaminated with dust/ soil.
Metal or rust has no relation with TETANUS shots. Whether the material is metal or not rusty or not TETANUS need to be taken for any dirty open wound.
