Hi Asa,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Rabipur vaccine generates antibodies and that protects a person against rabies infection.
2. After taking a 5 dose course of rabipur vaccination, the antibodies reach a peak after 30 days.
3. The effectiveness of the vaccination is said to be as long the rabies antibody level in blood is above is 0.5 IU/mL. This can continue for at least 2 years after vaccination course. However in event of another rabies exposure, taking 2 booster doses is suggested.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
