A member asked:
I had a rabies vaccine in 2004 then had a booster in 2005 as i had contact (not bitten) with a rabid animal.would this booster still have validity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? validity ?: Your question is not clear.The expected protection of a primary rabies series is at least 2 years, with high risk occupations advised to get antibody titers at that point to see if a booster is needed. Your booster should have benefit and few would ever suggest a full series with that history.
