Full vaccination under standard precautions immunity normally lasts for 3-5 years. But in case of re exposure with a confirmed rabies dog bite or street dog causing injury that is extensive and nearer the head or face or a street dog always consult a doctor or a surgeon that time. Consider 2 dose booster during that period beyond one year from now. It is better to be extra safe.
