A member asked:
After a dog bite in 2011 and fear of rabies after that, i received pep and rabies vaccine boosters every year, adding up to 21 doses in the last 10 years. i am very worried about the risk of als, ms, lupus and autoimmune diseases. is it likely?

This vaccination would not raise your risk of the diseases you listed. Talk to your doctor about stopping boosters if you do not have repeated exposures to the rabies virus. Wish you good health!

There is no evidence that vaccines raise the risk of the conditions you are worried about, no matter how many doses.
