Can I take the rabies vaccine even if I haven't been bitten by a dog? I recently had a dog just brush against my leg, and I know that's not how rabies is transmitted, but would it be okay or necessary to get the vaccine anyway?

Question

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?

Question

I'm wondering if I should start taking Tayo 60K again. I took it back in July and August 2017, one tablet a week. Lately, I've been feeling really weak and tired and find myself getting sleepy during the day. Do you think it's okay for me to take Tayo 60K again now?
