Rabies vaccination effective after 2 yrs
If ARV vaccination is given any time( after 2 years after dog bites) before first sign and symptoms of rabies appear after dog bites, is it effective?. I have my sons bitten by dog two years ago and don't know where dog have rabies or not. I donot know whether dog die after bites or not. If he take vaccination, will it be effective for dog bites 2 years ago. I am worrying too much he might have develop symptoms in future.

Theoretically,rabies CAN occur later after dogbite,but it's unusual.
No,vaccination will not be useful at this stage.
