Alcohol is not recommended during the rabies vaccination, nor is it recommended immediately after the last shot of the rabies vaccine. This is because it still takes some time after the injection for the rabies vaccine to be recognized by the body’s immune system and produce the appropriate effect. If you drink alcohol immediately, it may affect the effect of the rabies vaccine, and it is recommended to drink alcohol after a period of time. However, there is no particular evidence to support the specific time interval, and it is recommended that the time should be as long as possible, up to 1 week later. If alcohol is consumed within 1 week, it is not certain how much alcohol, if any, affects the process by which the rabies vaccine produces its effects. To be on the safe side, it is recommended that alcohol be consumed 1 week after the last rabies shot.
