Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Symptoms of joint aches, tiredsomeness, fatigue, general body discomfort etc are the side effects of rabies vaccine. These side effects differ in intensity from person to person. These are usually self limiting.
If you are concerned, please consult your treating physician for further action.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
