How long after completing rabies PEP (cat II exposure - vaccine only) can I accept that I won't develop the disease?
I received the vaccine for a category II exposure from a cat. How long after completing the treatment can I be confident that I won't develop rabies?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the incubation period for rabies can range from a few days to over a year. However, the vaccine is highly effective at preventing the disease if administered promptly after the exposure. It is recommended that individuals receive the vaccine as soon as possible after the exposure to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
