A member asked:
Finished post exposure rabies vaccines ten days ago. just got bit by a bat. do i need a booster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Once you complete a primary anti-rabies series you have ongoing protection for approximately 2 years. People working in high risk situations are encouraged to get boosters after 2 years to maintain that protection.
