A member asked:
I already got immune g, rabies vaccine/booster last week was when i the 4th dose. i got bitten again but this time by a rabid animal. arnt i immunized?

Yes: In general, completion of the anti-rabies series will protect for exposures during the 2 years following completion of the series. Those in high risk professions are advised to get boosters or have an antibody titer checked to see if a booster is needed for protection to remain high.
