Question 1

Is there any chance I need to get another antirabies shot if a street dog just brushed against me? I'm a bit worried because I had the injection about 2 years ago. How long do these shots last anyway?

Accepted Answer

If you've already received a rabies injection 2 years ago, you typically only need 2 doses of the vaccine after a new exposure.  This is because the immunity from the previous vaccination usually lasts for a long time, often 2-5 years or more, depending on the individual and the type of vaccine used
