A member asked:
Is it ok to take (pcecv)rabies vaccine rabipur after 9 months of exposure? will it be effective?will it give any side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to hurt you: at 9m after exposure you would either be dead from rabies or never really exposed. Many who work in professions that might expose them to rabies get the vaccine ahead of time. The primary series gives you about 2 years of protection.
