All these side effects are rare. Need not worry about these. Taking rabies vacvine was very necessary. To prevent srthritis you need to do joint mobility and strengthening exercises of utmost importance.

Dear patient,
I understand your concernâit's completely normal to worry. But please know that the chance of getting arthritis from the ABHYARAB vaccine is very, very rare. Itâs listed as a possible side effect because it might happen in extremely few cases, not because itâs common. Most people take this vaccine without any problem at all.
Right now, protecting you from rabies is the most important thingârabies is dangerous, and the vaccine is safe and life-saving. If you feel any joint pain in the future, weâll take care of it, but there's no reason to be afraid right now. Youâre doing the right thing by taking the vaccine."

Take care!

Nothing to be worried about anti rabies vaccine as its side effects are rare and take full course.
It's very essential to take all the doses if you are bitten by a dog.
Next Steps
If there is just scratch without bleeding then it is dog bite category 2 and take 3 doses on day 0,3&7 and if there was bleeding then it is category 3 and take full 5 doses on day 0,3,7,14 and 28.

Generally there aren't any side effects visible after getting vaccine except for rare cases. And if you have received it no need to be worried about it as rabies needs to be cured because it's more dreadful. Secondly if your blood relatives especially your mom and dad have arthritis then only you might have chance of getting it otherwise it's nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
If only you're having symptoms like severe joint pain redness and swelling of skin around joints. Then consult an orthopedic doctor

Vaccines have the side effects.That does not mean that you will have arthritis.Prevention of rabies is a priority, don't be concerned about the side effects.
