Hello ma'am and welcome.
Anti-tetanus shot is administered to pregnant women as part of the routine. Whereas, anti-rabies shots are given to those women who are not proctected from rabies and are exposed to it through a bite, etc. The vaccination is safe and should be administered for the safety of you and your child.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
