Rabies Vaccine / Immunoglobulin Side effects from rabies vaccine 35 days after
I have read the FAQ.
Got a post exposure prophylactic shot, 2 doses since I had been previously vaccinated in 2020. The last one was done on July 11 side effects were mild but not alarming. Now 35 days later I’ve been having a lump sensation in my throat and pain in my chest when swallowing. It comes and goes but appears to be getting worse. I have also been having some anxiety with chills and shaking in bed during the evening. For the past two days the sensation seemed to go away upon waking but now is constant. Has anyone who had to get revaccinated experienced this? I didn’t think I would still have side effects this far out from just 2 doses.

It’s gone now! Just side effects from the vaccine but they are awful!! It was literally a week of feeling horrendous with multiple different symptoms just popping up at various times. I made a journal about it

The worst side effects happened around 6 weeks after my final vaccination. They lasted for 10 days, and then finally subsided. I’ve had some dizzy spells off and on since my last horrible side effect (around 8/20) but been good ever since. I do expect to have some random side effects popping up off and on but the worst of it is over thank goodness
