We describe the first case of Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) occurring 8 days after the first dose of a three‐dose rabies vaccination series. She had no history of vaccine‐related rash or other adverse drug reactions, nor had she received any other drug therapy. The temporal relationship between the development of SJS and the vaccination suggests that the rabies vaccination probably was the causal agent. This case serves as a warning of a distinct cutaneous reaction of rabies vaccination.
