Hello,
Rabies vaccine is very effective with very high preventive rate and works for against rabies whatever the host animal is. The course of vaccination post exposure is four doses at ( 0, 3, 7, 14 ) day. Two doses (0, 3) day are required post-exposure if already vaccinated within two years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
