There are two types of immunizations. 1) Active 2) Passive. In passive immunization you give ready made antibodies in order to protect the patient with immediate effect. But this effect eventually goes away with time. In active immunity you inject the live attenuated, dead organisms or Toxoid of the organisms. This stimulates the body immune system to produce the antibody. This response start to appear by two weeks, maximum between 1 to 2 months. So if you give second dose of antigen after 1 month then there is further rise in titre of antibodies. If you give third injection after 6 months, then immune response will last for five years. Then you may give injection after every five years. So this is the best methods to protect one from infection. In case of Rabies you give injections of vaccines on day 0, 4, 7, 14, 28 and day 90 to achieve rapid response.
