Hi! unfortunately, there is no rabies vaccine anywhere in the world ang may kakayahan ng magbigay ng lifelong protection sa isang tao. Ito ay may protection lamang for a limited time. Kung ang huling bakuna mo pa ay last 2012, which is almost 6 yrs ago, mainam na ikaw ay magpabakuna muli upang makasiguro
