Hello
Thanks for query .
Anti Rabies vaccine has no side effects on production of sperms hence will not lower down the sperm count.Neither it will have any adverse effect on chromosomal pattern of sperms and will not have any birth defects of the baby as feared by you .
Please go ahead and complete the course of anti rabies vaccine .as it is more important for him to get immunized .
