For How Long Will IMOVAX Vaccine Be Effective?

Hi... I had IMOVAX rabies vaccination in early 2012. A series of three shots first two were one week apart, followed by a third shot a month later.

In 2015 I will be traveling again for an extended time in southeast Asia and the Philippines.

Will my shots still be effective ? how long are these shots good for ?

Oh..... .now i find out that I have to pay cash for an answer.

Why didn't you let me to before I started all this.....

Sorry... I don't need an answer that bad to pay $15.00

I'll look somewhere else....... bye.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.

Effect of your IMOVAX will remain for 2 years.
As you are travelling post 2 years, you need to re-vaccinate yourself for sustained protection.

Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Take care.
