Can you drink alcohol with a rabies shot?

Drinking alcohol before and after rabies vaccination is not recommended. After vaccination, some people may have adverse reactions such as fever, myalgia, abdominal pain, etc. Drinking alcohol can cause similar symptoms, and it is not easy to distinguish these symptoms from adverse reactions to the vaccine if you drink alcohol before or after vaccination. Drinking alcohol is not good for your health, so it is recommended to stop smoking and drinking in your daily life, and to develop good living habits. When receiving rabies vaccine, usually pre-exposure prophylaxis needs to be vaccinated three times, each intramuscular injection of 1 ml; post-exposure prophylaxis needs to be vaccinated five times, each time intramuscular injection of 2 ml; severe bites can be injected at the same time as the first injection of anti-rabies immunoglobulin. During the period of rabies vaccination, pay attention to quit smoking and drinking, do not drink coffee, strong tea and other stimulating drinks, pay attention to the wound site clean care. If you are scratched or bitten by a canine, it is recommended that you go to the CDC in time to receive the rabies vaccine, and leave the area under a doctor’s supervision until there is no abnormality.
