Main research findings
Studies on rabies vaccines have investigated various vaccines and their administration methods for safety and efficacy. These studies have reported and analyzed various adverse effects to confirm the safety of rabies vaccines. The incidence and types of adverse events have been shown to vary depending on the type of vaccine and the method of administration. 4
Reasons for side effects
Side effects of rabies vaccines are thought to be caused by immune responses to the vaccine components or by the method of administration. The susceptibility to side effects also varies depending on the individual's constitution and health condition.
Common side effects
Pain at the injection site
Many studies have reported pain at the injection site as the most common side effect. 19 , 9 , 25 , 15 , 14 , 11 , 20 These studies have confirmed that pain at the injection site is mild to moderate and resolves within a short period of time.
Fever
Fever has also been reported as a common side effect. 19 , 25 , 15 , 14 , 11 Fever usually subsides within a short period of time and is mild. However, if you develop a high fever or if it persists, you should consult a doctor.
Rash
Rash has also been reported. 19 , 25 , 15 , 14 , 11 Rash usually subsides within a short period of time and is mild. However, if it worsens or persists, you should consult a doctor.
Fatigue
Fatigue has also been reported. 19 Fatigue usually subsides within a short period of time and is mild. However, if it persists, you should consult a doctor.
Muscle aches
Muscle aches have also been reported. 19 Muscle aches usually subside within a short period of time and are mild. However, if they persist, you should consult a doctor.
Allergic reactions
In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur. 19 , , 10 Allergic reactions can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing, hives, and swelling of the face and lips. If you suspect an allergic reaction, you should consult a doctor immediately.
Measures to take for side effects
Pain at the injection site
You can try cooling, warming, or massaging the injection site to relieve pain. If the pain is severe, you can also take pain relievers.
Fever
If you have a fever, it is important to drink plenty of fluids and rest. You can also take antipyretics if your fever does not go down.
Rash
If you have a rash, avoid scratching and try to cool it down. If the rash is severe, consult a doctor.
Fatigue
If you are fatigued, get plenty of rest and avoid overexertion. If fatigue persists, consult a doctor.
Muscle aches
If you have muscle aches, try warming, stretching, etc. If the pain is severe, you can also take pain relievers.
Allergic reactions
If you suspect an allergic reaction, consult a doctor immediately. Antihistamines and other medications may be given as needed.
Comparison between studies
Commonalities of studies
Many studies have confirmed that rabies vaccines are safe and effective. Common side effects include pain at the injection site, fever, rash, fatigue, and muscle aches.
Differences between studies
Studies have shown that the incidence and types of side effects vary. This is thought to be influenced by factors such as the type of vaccine, the method of administration, the age of the subject, and their health condition. For example, showed that purified rabies vaccines are less likely to cause allergic reactions than conventional rabies vaccines. Also, 21 showed that intradermal administration is less likely to cause side effects and is more effective than conventional intramuscular administration.
Precautions for real-life applications
Rabies vaccines can significantly reduce the risk of rabies. However, vaccines are not effective for everyone, and there is always a chance of side effects. It is important to consult with your doctor before receiving a rabies vaccine and make an informed decision based on your constitution and health condition.
Limitations of current research
Research on the safety and effectiveness of rabies vaccines is still insufficient. In particular, long-term side effects and effects on specific populations are not yet fully understood.
Future research directions
Long-term follow-up studies and research on various populations are needed to better understand the safety and effectiveness of rabies vaccines. It is also important to elucidate the mechanisms of side effects and to advance the development of safer vaccines.
Conclusion
Rabies vaccines are a very effective way to prevent rabies. However, there is always a chance of side effects. It is important to consult with your doctor before receiving a rabies vaccine and make an informed decision based on your constitution and health condition. In addition, research on the safety and effectiveness of rabies vaccines should continue.
