Admittedly I haven't searched the forums for this topic
But I'm planning on travelling to India in January and had a question about rabies vaccines. I was vaccinated with the post-exposure series in 1999 and tested at 'post vaccine' levels (i.e. pretty high still) 5 years later.
It's now 11 years after my initial vaccine and I'm in a country that doesn't deal with rabies that often except to give travel vaccs. I'm trying to do my research before heading to the travel doc next week so I'm looking to see if anyone has been in this situation or has found a source of legitimate info to show what the protocols are and if it's reasonable that my immunity has lasted another 6 years
Keep in mind I'm not asking for medical advice I am really just trying to have info on hand before I get to the doctors office and also figure out if I should budget for titre and vaccine,just the titre, or just get a booster (probably both to be safe ) I just don't know the availability of a titre over here, it's cost, or how long it takes to process.
