I mean, th rabies or other diseases shots is in the form of a less active "rabies" so the dog gets antibodies to fight it, but it's still rabies, right?

The rabies vaccine is not a live virus. It is a killed virus. You can't get rabies from getting bitten by a dog who has recently recieved a rabies vaccine. You still need to go to a doctor, though, and get the dog bite checked out. Dog bites can get infected easily.
However, if the dog that bit you was a stray with an unknown history before the rabies vaccination, or is acting strangly, you will want to notify animal control and see a doctor immediately. Rabies is extremely rare in this country, but it's still a vaild concern.
Hope this helps!

NO. Not to worry. I hope you didn't get bit. If you did you need to take care of it because it could become infected.
However if the dog was bitten by a rabid animal before it got it's shot then bit you there is a 100% chance you would get rabies. If it's a stray or if it's acting strange have it put in quarantine.
