Can I drink alcohol after getting a rabies vaccine?

Rabies vaccine is also a common vaccine at present. Generally, you need to get a rabies vaccine after being bitten by a dog. Some people may think that being bitten by a dog is not a big deal and there is no need to get the vaccine. This idea is wrong. You must get a rabies vaccine after being bitten by a dog to avoid rabies. There is no way to treat rabies, it can only be prevented by vaccination in advance. So can you drink alcohol after getting the rabies vaccine?

1. You should avoid certain foods after receiving the rabies vaccine to avoid affecting the immune effect. Although drinking four bottles of beer will have some impact, the impact is limited and it will not lead to immune failure (vaccination in vain).

In fact, cases of immune failure caused by eating spicy and sour foods are relatively rare.

Next time, try to drink less alcohol during the vaccination period and get vaccinated on time.

2 Please go to the CDC to test the antibodies fifteen days after the fifth vaccination. Generally, the result is positive (if the antibodies are weakly positive, you can take remedial measures and get a booster shot to achieve the same immune effect).

No need to worry.

After rabies vaccination, you should avoid eating irritating foods and strenuous exercise, but the contraindications of rabies vaccination are not very strict.

3. The mechanism of action of rabies vaccine is to stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies against rabies virus. It is not the vaccine itself but the antibodies that really prevent rabies. As long as the vaccine successfully stimulates the production of antibodies, all previous rabies exposure risks will be eliminated and no longer dangerous. Although these taboos may have some impact on the process of antibody production, it is almost impossible to cause the vaccine to be completely ineffective, so you can rest assured, but it is still recommended that you do not eat irritating foods.

4 In addition, the first three shots of the vaccine are the most important, and the last two shots are mainly to enhance the effect. If you have received three shots, then it is already safe.

Immunoglobulin only needs to be injected when the bite is severe and the wound is close to the head. Its essence is antibodies, which can play a role in fighting rabies virus in a short period of time, but it also loses its effect quickly, so immunoglobulin is only used as an emergency prevention in dangerous situations.
