Rabies Vaccine

[bobo0110]

Hi,

Can Rabies vaccine cause Rabies. As i know there's inactive Rabies virus in vaccine. Can they be active after injected to human body?
The vaccine I'm being treated that is Mérieux Inactivated Rabies Vaccine – Sanofi Pasteur Pty Ltd

Thanks,

Would that possibly be my issue as well?

Hi!
You are right. An inactivated rabies vaccine is unlikely to cause rabies. However, it can cause rabies like disease symptoms as side effects. These may include headache, dizziness, high temperature or chills, muscle ache, nausea or vomiting, and stomach cramps. If you notice any of these symptoms, or rash, or pain at site of injection, etc, please inform your doctor immediately.   Take care!
