Stability of rabies vaccines
Since I believe vets usually take pre exposure courses and constant boosters maybe best person to answer. Can a rabies vaccine be destroyed in mere 15 minutes of time it took me to bring it from a medical stockist (wholesale med market) to clinic where it was immediately administered? I had kept it with mobile in pocket, but mobile wasn't feeling that hot when I removed vaccine and kept it on pocket again.

Vaccines should be maintained in the temperature, which was mentioned by the manufacturer. It is not the time that plays a major role. It is the temperature of your vaccine. For example, if the pack says 2 to 8°c and in this 15-minute gap, it goes higher than that then vaccine effect will not be as effective as the vaccine, which is maintained in that particular range. So, without knowing the temperature of your vaccine at the time, the effect can't be predicted
