If a healthy nerve cell effectively blocks the rabies virus from entry, you would not get rabies. However, there is no scientific evidence that this happens, so please don't pin your hopes on this if you are exposed to the rabies virus. Once you are exposed, you need post-exposure prophylaxis to keep yourself from dying of rabies.
