Reply to comment by BigNorseWolf in Is taking rabies vaccine 100% effective? as in the once infected person won't need a booster shot in the future? by DetectiveSherlocky

I never heard pre-exposure for rabbies. If you have it, will it protect you like a regular vaccine, or do you still need additional shots if you are bitten?

Its just like for dogs, but for people.

If you get bitten while vaccinated you get two shots.

If you get bitten and not its 4.

I don't think we know how often those two extra shots are NECESSARY but we do not want to find out.
