General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. You can take rabies and tetanus vaccine together. rabies is live attenuated vaccine and tetanus is toxoid vaccine. Just that we should not take two different live attenuated vaccines within a span of one month because it may have interactions with antibody production. In this case there is no problem, you can take. Side effects are rare. You need not worry about it. Here the benefits of taking vaccine outweighs the risk. Do not worry.
