A member asked:
Hello, i have a friend that was bit by a dog 6 days ago. he was unaware of the risk of rabies. would vaccines still be effective if he sought treatmen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they: Would still be effective. What would be even more effective would be to get the dog and see if it has any symptoms or has had immunizations. The police should be notified even at this date so they can help with the search,
