Should Non-vegetarian Food Be Avoided After Antirabies Injection?

Hi, My name is Prasanth. I was bitten by a stray a month back. I consulted a doctor and he had prescribed me Rabipur for 5 days. I completed all the 5 doses as per schedule. My uncle who is a pediatrician has advised me not to eat non-vegetarian food (including eggs) for two months. As per him, eating non-vegetatian food immediately even after the last dose of Rabipur injection might annule or reduce the effect of the injection (to produce anti-bodies). Could you please provide your suggestions on this.
