Sorry, that's not a cure.  That is prevention.  If the shots had been 
delayed, and she had gotten rabies, she would be quite dead.  Rabies
has a long lead time between introduction of the virus and the time
when it gets to where it does the damage.  In that time, prevention
is still possible.  Rabies is not curable.
