Hello, I wanted to ask about the effectiveness of vaccination after exposure to the rabies virus. Will getting vaccinated after 10 days do anything?

According to the manufacturer: "Previously vaccinated people should receive one dose of vaccine intramuscularly, on day 0 and on day 3." However, there have been no studies on the effectiveness of the drug given 10 days after exposure to the virus. Post-exposure prophylaxis should be carried out under medical supervision. If necessary, treatment may be supplemented with tetanus prophylaxis and antibiotic therapy to prevent infection other than rabies.
