A member asked:
Myself 32, had full rabies vaccination 4 month back, now again dog licked my feet, do i need to take vaccination again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't ...but..: The primary post exposure series is considered protective for 2 years from completion. However, Rabies is a local issue & a booster is sometimes recommended during that period if the local health department considers the type/location of the exposure a real rabies risk. Contact your local health department.
