A member asked:
Dose a single dose of rabies revaccination is effective? how much it is preventive? how much time it will last for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is considered an adequate booster if the primary series was given properly.Most expect 2 years of preventive coverage from this booster.Those in high risk professions are encouraged to get a booster every 2 years or at least have a blood test for protective antibody levels.
