Expert Answer

After a dog bite, get the rabies vaccine within 24 hours, ideally not exceeding 48. Earlier injection produces specific antibodies sooner, blocking virus spread between cells for better immunity.

Rabies is incurable with 100% mortality, so take a bite seriously and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
