A member asked:
Got post exposure rabies vaccine a month ago and booster shots yesterday, if i got exposed the next day after getting booster, am i still covered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
