The immunity acquired from the vaccine can last a long time. The longevity of rabies vaccine ranges between 3 to 10 years depending on the booster dose that is given. For example, to prevent rabies, rabies vaccinations are given three times, on the day of the first injection and on day 7 and day 21 after the first injection. For those who have a high exposure of rabies, it is suggested to receive 1 booster dose once a year and every 3 to 5 years

A course of rabies vaccines (given into the shoulder muscle) works to develop long term immunity, but this may take seven days to begin providing protection. For this reason, hrig is usually given into the wound or site of injury to provide immediate short term protection while the rabies vaccines start to work.

There is no side effect and you will have increased immunity if a future bite should come from a proven rabid dog.

Over dosage of vaccine does not give any further benefit than the normal dosing. It is not recommended however it will not cause any major harm to you.
The usual side effects of rabies are fever, musculoskeletal pain and join pain.
Rabies vaccine is contraindicated in patients allergic to rabies, if you have any further queries please get back to me.

At present there are no vaccines for life long immunity against rabies. It will be better to avoid such circumstances.
