How is it not?

I'm currently 1 of 3 injections into getting a rabies vaccine and it's basically like every other vaccine I've had. A simple, painless, injection in the arm.

I got it the same time as my first shot of the Hep B vaccine too.

This style of rabies vaccine is for pre-exposure. Post-exposure vaccination is more involved if you aren’t primed.

In addition, it used to be the case that people received abdominal shots and the course was pretty intense. That has ended, but people remember it.

  • post exposure vaccination is a thing?? does it work for everything and why is it called vaccination not treatment?
