Yes, nausea, body ache, leg/back pain, mild weakness are common side effects of Rabivax-S (rabies vaccine). They usually start after the 2nd dose and settle on their own in 1–3 days. This is not rabies symptoms. It is just your immune system responding to the vaccine. Better to consult a physician as well for the same
