A member asked:

How long do titers rise , if having a booster shot for rabies ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Long ?: The expected protective level of antibody production is 2 yrs when a booster is given to those who have completed a primary series. This is the general interval used for those in high risk professions. The WHO/CDC would still recommend another booster for any significant exposure during that interval.
