Vaccination does not: Rabies vaccine is made from killed rabies virus. It cannot cause rabies. The vaccine is usually made using duck eggs so you may be having a reaction to that or to some other ingredient in the vaccine. You should call or visit your doctor and tell him your symptoms but I think you'll be just fine.
