A member asked:

Immunisation period of full course of anti rabies vaccine if exposure again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Most consider a full rabies series protective for at least 2 years. Those involved in high risk occupations are encouraged to have a blood test done to verify protective levels at that point and get a booster if the level has declined.
