Rabies Vaccine Adverse Reactions
The rabies vaccine is arguably the most dangerous shot our dogs get. Because it’s required by law, it’s a difficult shot to avoid. Because the vaccine is made from a “killed” virus, rather than “modified live” virus as are the other important “core” vaccines, manufacturers add dangerous “adjuvants” to boost effectiveness. These adjuvants too often cause adverse reactions, some of which occur quickly, but many of which occur days, weeks or even months after vaccination. A “killed” vaccine (rather than one from a modified live virus), the rabies vaccine contains adjuvants (chemical boosters) to enhance the immunological response. In 1999, the World Health Organization “classified veterinary vaccine adjuvants as Class III/IV carcinogens with Class IV being the highest risk.” Unknowingly most people do regular rabies vaccinations on their dogs without knowing the effects and dangers, thinking that this is the right thing to do. What most people do not know is that the rabies vaccination is one of the most DANGEROUS vaccinations given.
The vaccination often has side effects of swollen lymph nodes, bumps, skin reactions, and even liver and kidney damage. Below you'll find a link to the Rabies Challenge Organization. Please support this very important cause.
