For how long does the rabies vaccine remain effective in humans after a dose of 6 vaccines. How long will the immunity last from the 6 does of rabies shots in humans? I got 6 shots in 2012, so was just wondering if those are still effective.

It doesn't give preventive immunity... So after vaccination if there is exposure again then you have to repeat the vaccines..
