Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that each rabies vaccine has its period of action. And it all depends on the type of vaccine use and manufacturing company which has provided you. But usually a rabies whole cell virus vaccine lasts for long duration approximately a year. Thereafter it is necessary to take shot again. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
