Rabies vaccine booster still effective after 5 years, study to confirm
NCT ID NCT07455318
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a single rabies booster shot can still protect people who got their first rabies vaccine at least 5 years ago. About 561 healthy adults will get a booster, and researchers will measure their immune response after 7 days. The goal is to see if different initial vaccine schedules all provide long-lasting protection.
