This should be interesting!
My .02 is that pre exposure series do not prevent the potential to contract the rabies virus.
What pre exposure and regular titer checks do for the individual, is provide you the best medical baseline
protection against exposure or accidental exposure.
Shots are no guarantee and if you read up on it though the medical community feels like
they are worth getting and maintaining.
They have no percentage of known effectiveness as all human beings have varying immunology.
If you often have hands on with animals trying to bite you to escape your grip, you may desire the shots
as a protective layer against not noticing a puncture by any mammmal.
To each his own, you still get the post exposure series if you do have an actual known incident where you are
exposed.
When I worked for the govt they were mandatory if you worked with rabies vector species.
