A member asked:

Just completed post exposure rabies rabies vaccines. how do i know that they are effective? concerned over second bite.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check it: You can have antibody titers checked if you need them for confirmation. Completing the primary series is considered adequate to give protective levels for 2 years after the series is completed.
