Titer every two years, except for the two opposite ends of the scale: those in labs researching rabies (every six months), and "Animal care professionals and others who frequently handle terrestrial mammals in regions without terrestrial rabies," i.e.: cavers (no titer checks). I believe that latter group is supposed to get a booster every three years.
Should be good for several years, such as in your case.
