Anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions might occur. An immune complex reaction characterized by generalized urticaria, arthralgia, arthritis, angioedema, nausea, vomiting, fever, and malaise reported 2-21 days following booster doses of human diploid cell vaccine. Immune response may be decreased in immunocompromised patients. Pre-exposure immunization does not eliminate need for prompt prophylaxis following exposure but does reduce postexposure treatment regimen.
