The rabies vaccination is highly effective in preventing rabies in humans. *Duration of Protection* The duration of protection offered by the rabies vaccination can vary depending on several factors, including the type of vaccine used and the individual's immune response. Generally, a booster dose is recommended every 2-5 years for people who are at high risk of exposure, such as laboratory workers, veterinarians, and animal handlers . *Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis* Yes, the rabies vaccination can be taken before exposure, a process known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This is recommended for people who are at high risk of exposure, such as travelers to areas where rabies is common, laboratory workers, and animal handlers . *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis* If you are bitten or exposed to rabies, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is necessary. PEP consists of immediate wound cleaning, administration of rabies immune globulin (RIG), and a series of rabies vaccinations . It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
