A member asked:

Where to get rabies antibody titer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rabies: An antibody titer against the rabies virus can be sent by your physician after immunization. This is not generally done with the current vaccine but was done in the days when we used the duck embryo-based vaccine.
