Dear Mr Vora,though in England rabies is not frequently seen but there is a provision of antirabies injection for any person who has been bitten by rabid dog or who handles animals.so answer to your first question is Yes,the doctors over there will help your mother to get those vaccine.secondly in UK according to NHS guideline generally ,unlike India,3 doses are given.and these three doses cost around 120 to 170 pound in London.
