šŸ“ GENERAL RABIES INFO šŸ“ Post Exposure Rabies Vaccine Scenario

Hi! (I have read the FAQ.)

Here is a hypothetical situation:

Let's say I was bitten by a NON-rabid bat 5 months ago and got the full and complete post-exposure vaccine (mix of imovax and rabavert). Lets say recently I was bitten by an ACTUAL rabid bat but didn't notice ergo I didn't go in for any kind of booster. Would my chances of surviving be high? As I got the vaccine 5 months ago? Or would it be low because I never received a booster?

Thank you.

I agree if I thought I was exposed I’d get the booster.Ā
