[|Human|] sir, i was bitten bt a dog 2 years back.... the dog is unvaccined and belong to our neighbour...dog not died in 15 days and lives healthy for 1 years...i m not having any sign of rabies.. but i am afraid of that..can i have rabies vaccine now as i heard one can be treated before its syptomns arise??
[|AI|]  If you have been okay for 2 years after the bite, and the dog remained healthy after a year, then you do not have rabies and do not need the vaccine. The symptoms would have appeared a few weeks to (at most) months after the bite. That is why treatment is given immediately following the exposure, because the infection will start to show very soon. You are okay and do not need to worry about developing rabies anymore. Hope this helps.
