Immunity lasts for a long time.
Generally if its been almost a year since ur rabies vaccine and if ur exposed to bites or if ur wounds are exposed to saliva of a rabid animal only then u need booster doses.
If ur at high risk of exposure, based of the risk of exposure u need booster doses at 6m to 2 years intervals
