Side effects of rabies vaccines on human
I took a rabies shot (the first two injections of the five) yesterday  and I am feeling mildly feverish today. Is this a common side effect of the vaccine? Can I take fever medication like paracetamol to treat it or should I consult my doctor?

Yes you can take paracetamol. It should be enough. Fever can happen with vaccines
