Rabies vaccination, especially the first dose of rabies vaccine, can be given after drinking alcohol and should not be postponed due to alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption is usually prohibited during rabies vaccination. This is because alcohol consumption may cause symptoms such as allergies and gastrointestinal upset, which are difficult to distinguish from adverse reactions after rabies vaccination. If you are accidentally bitten by a dog or cat after drinking alcohol, you should not postpone the rabies vaccination because of drinking alcohol, because once the rabies virus infects the body, it is very dangerous and must be vaccinated in time to prevent it, and the above is the principle of the first shot of rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccine is usually a five-dose vaccine, and the remaining four doses have fixed vaccination time points. It is recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol when receiving the remaining rabies vaccine to maximize the effectiveness of the vaccine as well as personal health.
