What are the dangers of rabies vaccination for children?

Rabies vaccine is an antibody that is usually injected after being bitten or scratched by an animal. If a child is given rabies vaccine, although it can prevent the occurrence of rabies, it will also cause certain side effects to the child's body. Common side effects include pain, redness and swelling, increased body temperature, chills, etc. You should learn more about these side effects, and the specific situation will vary depending on your physical condition.

Side effects of rabies vaccination:

1. The side effects of rabies vaccination are generally small. A very small number of people have mild local and systemic reactions after the injection. For example, a few have pain, redness, swelling, nodules, itching, or even edema and swollen lymph nodes at the injection site. However, most of them can be relieved on their own. The most rare occurrence is urticaria. These side effects may be caused by personal physical problems or because the vaccine is not pure enough and contains impurities.

2. A small number of people may experience vaccination reactions after receiving rabies vaccine. In addition to increased body temperature, some recipients may also experience headache, dizziness, chills, fatigue, and general discomfort, which usually lasts for 1-2 days. Some recipients may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which are usually more common on the day of vaccination and rarely last for 2-3 days.

3. A small number of people will develop a fever after receiving the vaccination, but most of them are low-grade fevers. Only a very small number of people will have a persistent high fever or other complications. If high fever and complications occur, the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment promptly and the condition should be closely monitored.
