No any problem. Vaccine is intradermal so it's like that. Nothing to worry. It's not a reaction.

Dear Patient,
Thank you for reaching out regarding your concerns about the rabies vaccine. The **redness and itching at the injection site** after your **Day 7 dose** are **common and expected side effects**, not signs of a defective vaccine. These reactions occur due to your immune system's normal response to the vaccine components.
Key Information:
1. Normal Side Effects:
- Mild pain, redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site (usually resolves in 1–2 days).
- Low-grade fever or fatigue may also occur temporarily.
2. When to Worry:
- Severe allergic reactions(e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling of face/throat, rapid heartbeat) are rare but require immediate medical attention.
3. Next Steps:
- Apply a cold compressto reduce redness/itching.
- Avoid scratching the area to prevent infection.
- Complete the full vaccine schedule (including the final dose on Day 28 if prescribed) for full protection.
Why Consultation is Advised:
While your symptoms are likely harmless, anxiety about rabies is understandable. A quick consultation can:
- Rule out rare complications (e.g., hypersensitivity).
- Provide reassurance and clarify doubts about the vaccine’s efficacy.
For further guidance, you can connect with me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**. Let’s ensure your safety and peace of mind.

You may have allergy to the vaccine. Take tab cetrizine 5mg morning and evening for 3 to 4 days. Try completing the dose. About 40 to 45 Minutes prior to next dose take cetrrizine 5mg and prednisone 20mg MG one tablet each, to prevent allergic reaction.
