"the immunity induced by a full course tissue culture vaccine persists for 3-5 years in a normal healthy person. Any re-exposure during this period shall necessitate administration of two boosters spaced a week apart. Or 0 and 3 (ijcp). No anti-rabies serum is indicated (immunoglobuline) up to five years following full dose primary immunisation. However consult a qualified doctor personally in such events. Sometimes in rabies, it is safer to over treat than under treat.
