A member asked:
Rabies! could i still die of rabies if i got the vaccine 3.5 weeks after i was bit by a stray dog, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be OK: Rabies has a long incubation period even up to 6 years. As long as you finished a postexposure prophylaxis, typically 5 shots of antirabies vaccine, you should not worry about.
