Thank you for your reply Batbite. No, I am not a vet. Had a tiny scratch from a feral kitten when on holiday in South Africa, 14/15 years ago. When I saw the nurse on my return, she was advised to give me post exposure treatment as a precaution. I though after all these years it would be wise to get a couple of boosters so went to a travel clinic. The pharmacist said one booster would be sufficient but I decided on 2 as it had been almost 15 years. The literature seems to suggest immunity lasts approx 10 years. He did offer me the third but I don’t intend on having it due to these symptoms. I am incredibly fearful and having all sort of thoughts about the safety of the batch of vaccine I was given 😔 Really regret getting these shots. Didn’t have such long lasting side effects years ago.
