      Yes. Rabies vaccine or rabies immunoglobulin (a liquid given into the wound or by injection)

      Yes, you can get a vaccine for rabies. I think you have to get it pretty quickly after you’ve been infected, though, I’m not sure 🤔

      We can! It just needs to be given very soon after someone is bitten. Hopefully one day we’ll have a good cure for people who have started to show symptoms.
