A pregnant woman should receive rabies vaccine
if indicated. No fetal abnormalities have been reported with the rabies
vaccine. A pregnant woman can receive routine pre-exposure vaccination against
rabies if her risk of exposure is high.
The vast majority of people will not experience any reaction after
being vaccinated against rabies, and only some of the vaccinated individuals
may experience mild vaccination reactions. Common local injections include
redness, swelling, pain, itching, and systemic symptoms such as fever, dizziness,
headache, fatigue, general malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea,
etc. Most of these symptoms are relatively mild and can gradually releases
within a few days to a week. A small number of patients will have moderate or
higher fever and rash, and appropriate symptomatic treatment can be carried out
under the guidance of a doctor.
