A member asked:
Is 10 days too late for rabies vaccine ? is it 100% effective if it works after 10 days ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too late. The incubation period averages 1 to 3 months with unusual exception. Experts believe a delay of several days or more may not compromise effectiveness.
