A member asked:
I am taking the rabies vaccine, the name is verorab. the doctor asked me not to take beer during the course of the treatment. yet yesterday, my company hosted the year -end party and i took 2 bottle of beer. i am scared! please help?

No direct reaction: Don't be scared. The beer does not interfere directly with the Vaccine. The effect is indirect, as alcohol can lower your hydration and lower your immune system response to the vaccine. Stop drinking alcohol and hydrate well. Complete the 4 shot course for rabies vaccine.
