The Rabipur vaccine can be given during pregnancy if you have had contact with the virus or are at a considerable risk of contact with the virus. To date, no incidents of harm in mothers or children have been linked to the use of this vaccine during pregnancy. However, it is important to consult with your doctor who can assess the risks associated with pre-exposure vaccination and can advise on the appropriate timing of vaccination.

The vaccine can be given to breastfeeding women if they have had contact with the virus or are at a higher risk of contact with the virus. Rabipur is not known to pass into breast milk. There has been no evidence of harm to a breastfeeding infant so far. It is advisable to consult your doctor, weigh the benefits against the risks and follow your doctor's recommendations.

The vaccine may cause dizziness, fatigue, weakness, and overall discomfort, which may affect your ability to drive.

There is little known about the interaction of alcohol with the Rabipur vaccine. Kindly consult with your doctor for advice on alcohol intake post vaccination.

Rabies, as a viral disease, can be fatal if left untreated. However, it is 100% preventable through vaccination. Hence, if there is a risk of frequent contact with animals, the Rabipur rabies vaccine can help protect from rabies infection. It should be taken as a preventive measure.

The number of doses depends on whether you are taking the vaccine before or after exposure to the rabies virus. If you are taking the vaccine for the first time, it can vary between 3 doses to be taken over a span of 21-28 days (before exposure to virus) or 4-5 doses over a span of 28 days (after exposure). If you have been vaccinated and are exposed to the virus later, you may need 2 more doses. The frequency of dosing will be decided by your doctor based on timing of vaccination and risk of exposure.

Rabipur, like all vaccinations, may not fully protect everyone who receives it. If you come in contact with a potentially infected animal after vaccination, you may need additional doses. You should immediately consult your doctor if this happens. In some cases, the doctor may also decide to give you an injection of antibodies against rabies.

Clinical studies have shown that an adequate immune response after taking Rabipur vaccine can last for up to a couple of years. Booster doses may be required after this period depending on the level of antibodies in the blood at that time. You can consult your doctor on the booster dose regimen.
