From what I understand, titers can remain within proper limits for life from just one vaccination. Of course, this is probably not true for everyone and titers should be checked if you're dealing with RVS.
The vets I talked to about this said that they only had a single vaccination in med school (it's required) but their titers have remained within normal limits and none of them required a booster in later years.

No worse than a tetanus shot, although I did turn out to be one of the 5% who show flu-like symptoms within 10 days (hit me on the tenth day--at a horse show!) I suppose I ought to have the titers checked... they really didn't know how long it would be effective at the time.
