A member asked:

Received 4th dose of anti rabies vaccine and dog bite me again what is the protection period of immunity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Over 10 years: The vaccine provides protection for at least 10 years - probably no more than 14 years however. The recommended dose after possible exposure is 4 doses which you have now had. You should be covered.
