Here's the info on the vaccine:

It's recommended that vaccination start as soon as possible after exposure. Yet, the vaccine has been shown to work as much as 14 days after exposure (sure would make me nervous if I had to wait that long). But as I suggested earlier, I'd touch base with your local ED doc or ID doc--they deal with this issue regularly.

But on the light side, Bert, you should definitely go with the new avatar!
