| How does postexposure prophylaxis differ from getting vaccinated before an exposure? |
| Treatment after an exposure in a previously unvaccinated person requires receiving a dose of rabies immune globulin and four (or five if the person's immune system is suppressed) doses of vaccine. Vaccination before exposure requires only three doses of vaccine and no immune globulin. |
