The Grand Junction VA is taking part in a nationwide preventative health program and contacting veterans who've returned from Iraq, Afghanistan or other areas in Southeast Asia in the last 18 months. Those people may have been exposed to rabies. The incubation period is usually a few days to six months, but in extremely rare cases, the incubation period has lasted several years.
