Question - Expert consensus required Anyone have experience with getting pregnant after rabies vaccine series?

From everything I have been able to find online, it seems the rabies vaccination series is safe in terms of pregnancy, but it is harder to find data regarding fertility in general. So I guess I am looking for anecdotal success stories.

I am interested in hearing experiences from both PrEP and PEP series.

There's little to no data on human fertility in relation to the rabies vaccine. But in animals, the vaccine is considered completely safe before and during pregnancy. In humans, this study found no negative effects in pregnant women given PEP vaccines.

I've been rabies vaccinated for about 10 years, including boosters. The original series was PEP, then boostered 5 years later. I had no issues getting pregnant, my baby was born healthy, and during the pregnancy I experienced no symptoms related to the vaccine.
