Doctors’ responses
Hello,
Yes ,these symptoms are generally NORMAL immune responses to the vaccine and not a cause for alarm.
Mild side effects such as headache, low-grade fever, fatigue, or soreness at the injection site are common after rabies vaccination and usually resolve within a few days.
Please complete the full course of vaccination
If symptoms persist beyond 3 days or become severe, please consult a physician in person.
I hope this helps Thank you
Hello dear See after careful evaluation of your query,you are safe since dog is fully vaccinated and you also have taken rabies vaccine You are safe and these symptoms are typically side-effects of vaccine which is immuno modulator in nature I suggest you to please complete full course of vaccine to be 100 percent safer in future Hopefully no complications could occur in future Regards
