6-8 weeks is what's recommended. The weird part is do titers even matter? Won't your body generate an adequate antibody response if you do get exposed to the disease?
Titers tell you how many times the serum can be diluted and still have detectable antibody levels. I agree to an extent b/c they are not a direct measurement vaccine efficacy. Also, you can have sub-detectable levels and still be adequately protected. However, it's the best information you can get short of being exposed to the disease and seeing what happens!
