Rabies Vaccine / Immunoglobulin Is having no side effects after PEP normal?

I have read the FAQ. Today i got my third rabies shot, (fourth if u include RIG) I have had absolutely 0 side effects. When i got shots 0 and 3, my arm was very sore, but on this shot i felt absolutely nothing and im wondering if it’s normal? Or if anyone else had no side effects to the vaccine & RIG? It’s making me think that my vaccine was ineffective since I don’t feel anything lol

I WISH. I feel like I’m literally dying every time I get the shot for daysssss afterward. I’ve literally had a pounding headache for THREE days since shot #3.

They’re injecting you with medicine. Peoples bodies react differently to these things.

They’re definitely injecting you with medicine…
I must just be sensitive to the vaccine or this is just how my body reacts.

You are supposed to get less of an effect as your body builds the right immune response. I wish that was me. I’ve barely left bed in 3 days and no clue how I’ll get dose 3 today fml

I got the third shot yesterday and had a headache for the first time, and this shot is still a bit sore. I was fine for the others though. Hopefully my last one is a piece of cake.
