A member asked:
If i took post ex poser vaccine for rabies earlier. do i need to take vaccination again if i am bitten by an animal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rabies vaccine: Booster doses of vaccine to maintain protective antibody levels are recommended every two years for persons at increased risk of contracting rabies . People who have been re-exposed can be given booster doses, or you can have your antibody levels checked periodically and get that only if needed.
