View allI got my rabies shots around 8 months ago, but Im running late for the booster. A dog scratched my finger, but it's still healthy and living. Im worried about whether it's too late to get the rabies vaccine now. I read somewhere that as long as symptoms haven't started, it's not too late. Is that true? What should I do?
Yes there is no perticular time limit,better to get vaccinated as soon as possible

Hey, I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I took an HIV 1 and 2 ECLIA antibody test on the 63rd day after potential exposure, and it was done using the Roche e411 analyzer. I'm curious about how accurate the results might be at this stage. Should I trust the results, or do I need to retest later?
