A member asked:

I have taken two of five verorab rabies vaccines. the doctor here in vietnam (limited english) said no alcohol or exercise. the package insert said nothing of the sort. can i drink and work out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would think so: I see no reason to believe either working out or an occasional drink would alter your bodies response to the vaccine. I suppose the advice offered is a general caution given to all his/her patients.
