There are a number of reputable sources online that state that immunity lasts at least 2 years. Some sources say 2-3 years but that titers should be checked after two years. Emergency room physicians that gave me a rabies vaccination series a few months ago after a cat bite said that immunity lasts one year. But the consensus online seems to be two years unless one is at frequent risk in which case their titers should be checked regularly.
Several sources say a two shot series should follow an exposure if the person had been previously vaccinated, but they don't indicate if that is only in the case of a 2-3 year gap in initial vaccination.

The immunity from the rabies vaccine varies depending on whether it is given as a pre-exposure or post-exposure treatment. Pre-exposure vaccination: Protection can last 2–3 years, but a booster is recommended for those at ongoing risk, such as travelers to high-risk areas or people working with animals. Post-exposure vaccination: If given after potential exposure, the full course provides long-term protection, but additional boosters may be needed for future risks. Regular antibody testing may be required for high-risk individuals. Contact : +44 0118 996 4203
