Can Alcohol Drinking Cause Any Side Effects To Rabies Shots?
My son lives in a place with wild dogs who are often rabid. He wants to know if he can still drink if he takes the rabies shots? In the country he lives in if you don't drink doing business you can't get much done. The country itself does not appear to give out preventive vacines. Also he will only be home for 2 weeks and won't be able to get a third vacination in that time. Can you please advise me.
Rabies vaccine prevent rabies by building immunity against rabies. It is important to take all doses on time for proper development of immunity against rabies.
Alcohol reduces immunity and delay development of immunity against infection. It is better for him not to use alcohol during vaccination period.
