Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
No the vaccine is not effective.
Rabies vaccine should be stored at 2-8 degrees centigrade in the refrigerator.
At that temperature it is stable for 3 years.
Why did they keep the vaccine out of refrigerator for such a long time?
Please consult your doctor for repetition of vaccination.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Vaccine looses its efficacy if proper temperature is not maintained.
Rabies vaccination needs to be stored at 2 to 8 degrees.
There is no point in keeping vaccine out for such a long period.
I suggest you to take consultation from your doctor as repetition of vaccine will be needed.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless....
