Practically it is of no use to take Anti-Rabies vaccine 20 years after the dog bite. If the virus was so weak that it couldn't cause a disease in 20 years then it is acting like a vaccine (attenuated virus)

Vaccine isn't needed post 5 years of exposure, you may take a pre exposure one though 3 doses. Go to your nearest government one for it. 20 years back bite doesn't need anything, the longest duration is 12 years median is 5
