That's unacceptable that she couldn't get the shots right away, but any time 
in the next three or four weeks would have done as well.  Rabies develops 
very 
slowly and the antibodies to the vaccine do not.  The gamma-globulin slows 
down the virus while the vaccine provokes the antibodies.  It's an easy race 
to 
win as so long as its not neglected altogether.
