A member asked:

My rabies (4-5) injection course completed on 13th, got bitten by dog again on 16th, so do i need to take another injection. if not,for how long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaccine basics: Once you have completed the rabies series ,your system is considered safe from exposure during a 2 year period. Those working in high risk occupations are encouraged to either check immune level (titers) at 2 years or get a booster dose.
