Immunity of Vaccination
Hi, I would like to know the duration of Immunity of the Rabipur Injection if one has taken the entire course of 5 injections. How long does the Immunity last from future dog bites/scratches (weather pet or stray dogs)? In this case no serum injection was taken as it was a scratch from a pet puppy that was vaccinated.

Immunity offered by rabies vaccination is usually life long. But you need get re vaccinated if the exposure is severe enough..
