A member asked:
How long can we be safe after rabies booster vaccine?why it is not mentioned by who rabies guidelines,?they said after every exposure should get shot again? is it right ?what should we do ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rabies: I think given that there is NO treatment for human rabies - its wise to get a booster. Over time our bodies immunity does fall especially towards things we rarely encounter such as rabies Thus its prudent to get a booster after an exposure since there is no treatment.
