A member asked:
Hello was wondering if i had rabie boosters 14month ago, i had shots 0-3 days just wondering if im still protected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes & no: The booster effect is supposed to last 2 yrs from the point it is given. This is important for those working in higher risk occupations. However, if there is a known exposure to a rabid animal it is routine to give another booster given the fatality rate of the disease.
