It basically buys you more time to do the PEP protocol. It’s not completely protective. I had it done at a travel clinic when I was planning to go to Madagascar. That would buy me time to get to South Africa or Europe for the PEP. Even then, it was a three shot course over multiple weeks, and each one made my arm very, very sore—tetanus shot times 10, at least on the pain scale.
