...then after 2 shots he got fever? My 10 year old son has been bitten by a puppy. After 7 days of incident we took him to hospital and the Doctor advised him to undergo for 5 shots of vaccination series. My son got his 1 shot of vaccination on then he got again a 2 shot yesterday but today he has a fever and complaining for a sore throat. Is this the side effect of vaccine or a sign of rabies? About the puppy is still healthy and strong.
