A member asked:
At what point during the four shot rabies series can i be 100% confident it worked and im not going to develop rabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
100% ????: In vaccine use we know from studies that protective levels of antibody are usually generated by ~2 weeks after starting the series. symptomatic rabies is expected to show from ~ 1mo to 1 yr after exposure. The success of the current vaccines is well known, but how someone would be assured it will never fail is hard to know. We have no way to know if the vaccines were properly made/stored/given.
