Yes, a second dose of the rabies vaccine is necessary. The typical rabies vaccination schedule involves:
1. Initial dose: Administered as soon as possible after exposure (or for pre-exposure prophylaxis)
2. Second dose: Given 3-7 days after the initial dose
3. Third dose: Given 21-28 days after the initial dose (in some cases, a fourth dose may be given 1 year later)
The second dose is essential to:
- Boost the immune response
- Ensure long-term protection against rabies
- Provide optimal immunity in case of exposure
