Does rabies vaccine have a dangerous interaction with alcohol? Half a year ago, I got vaccinated against rabies, because I was in a contact with a cat that was bitten by an unknown animal. Better safe than sorry, I went and had my five shots over a period of a month. I had heard before that after these shots you cannot consume ANY alcohol for a period varying from 3 to 9 months. The doctor who gave me the shots haven't had heard about any restrictions, but other doctors said it is very dangerous and can result in death. I've searched the web a lot, but without any hard proof, only "someone told someone" etc. So, **are there any restrictions for alcohol consumption after rabies vaccine?**

**No.**

Rabies treatments available in the USA Source: [CDC] are listed below, with links to the information sheets:

* Human Diploid Cell Vaccine (HDCV) - Imovax® Rabies

* Purified Chick Embryo Cell Vaccine (PCEC) - RabAvert®

* Human Rabies Immune Globulin - Imogam® Rabies-HT or HyperRab TM S/D



While each sheet includes the standard worry-inducing list of every known, suspected and barely plausible potential side-effect and counter-indication for use, none mention alcohol.
