A member asked:
My wbc count is 3.6 from recent test whereas normal range is 3.8-10.8. will this affect my rabies antibodies built through previous vaccines? will my immune response to a new potential unknown rabies exposure like a bat bite be slow and inefficient?

Your white blood cell count (WBC) can change over minutes to hours for all sorts of reasons. It usually comes with a "differential" or breakdown of the 7 main types of white cells and provides clues about why the overall count is what it is. There is no relationship between your rabies antibody titer and WBC. Rabies is rare and effectively prevented with vaccination. A WBC of 3.6 is not a concern
