What are the common side effects of intra?dermal rabies vaccination?

Cell culture vaccines have proved to be remarkably safe and free of significant adverse events. However, mild symptoms of pain, erythema, irritation or swelling at the intradermal injection sites occur in 3?92% of patients. The most frequent symptom is local irritation in 7?64% of vaccines. Generalized symptoms reported by 3?14% of recipients include headache, fever and influenza?like illness. Transient maculopapular and urticarial rashes are occasionally seen. All these adverse effects are mild, transient and self limiting and rarely call for the use of antihistamines and analgesics.
