Why is it possible to immune the person against rabies after the animal bite?

That is a very good question! Normally the animal bites the person on extremity. When you take proper wound care the incubation period for rabies goes well beyond one month. Your vaccine starts working by two to three weeks. When in doubt, you give rabies immunoglobulin to the patient. So you can always give vaccine to the patient

How does a vaccination protect a person from infectious diseases?
The vaccination process is intended to boost the immune system against infectious diseases and similar problems by introducing a small quantity of the disease to the immune system, so it knows what to look for and how to fight it. However, vaccination does not make you immune, so always exercise as much caution as possible in a situation in which you might be at risk of contracting an infectious disease.

What makes immune deficiency disorder so dangerous?
It sounds like this is schoolwork for someone somewhere...without an immune system, our bodies are left undefended against foreign invaders. The first opportunistic pathogen (this could be a virus, a bacterium, a fungus, or a parasite) to infect an individual without an immune system will likely result in this person's death. That is, someone without an immune system (the body's defense against infection), a person cannot live unless they are completely isolated from any source of infection.
How exactly do vaccines aid the immune system?

How does a vaccine prepare the immune system of the body?
A vaccine normally exposes the body's immune system to dead portions of the virus it is trying to protect against. The immune system will still react to the dead virus and develop anti-bodies to protect against the virus. This will either prevent the person from becoming infected or reduce the length and the severity of the symptoms if they do become infected.
What is positive immunity?
If a person's immune system is producing antibodies against a specific antigen, then that person has a positive or active immunity toward that antigen. If a person has merely been injected with antibodies but does not produce them, that is a passive immunity.
