A member asked:
Would many rabies shots in just few months work in opposite way and suppress immunity or reduce rabies anti body?am i safe from rabies with this shots
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asked and answered: The extra shots may actually increase your immunity to rabies, but beyond a certain point it does not matter. Once you achieve a protective level the rest is wasted extra. Beyond the discomfort of extra shots it will not hurt you ( unless you develop an allergic reaction to the shot)
