A member asked:
What is who rabies latest protocol for interval between last rabies shot and new exposure? i read if < 3 month of pep there is no need for shot again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends:: The latest WHO guidelines say you are good for 3 months after completing the proper course of vaccination. BUT if you are immune compromised that answer is different. Please call your doc immediately and discuss your specific case and exposure! Don't expect the definitive answer here from docs who don't know your particular circumstances. Consider getting Antibody levels checked.
