Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the rabies and TT injections are safe.AntiRabies vaccination is not known to cause any fetal anamolies.As the risk of rabies is more important than the safety profile of vaccine it is preferred to be given.TT injections 2 doses are necessaryto be taken before pregnancy.So relax.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
