5. "Can rabies appear after 3 years of monkey bite?" - #10233

Hello doctor,I have health anxiety. I was bitten by a monkey 3 years ago, and the government hospital here gave me 3 doses of the rabies vaccine in the gluteal (buttock) area through intramuscular injection. But now I feel very worried. I read somewhere that the rabies vaccine is not very effective when given in that area. I also read that rabies can have an incubation period of up to 6 years. That’s why I’m scared that maybe the vaccine didn’t work properly.
