Good thing he went to the doctor. Potential rabies is one of those "you gotta do it" deals.

I had the rabies vaccinations, when I was a kid. A schoolmate brought infected guinea pigs to school. Dozens of us had to get the shots.

17 shots: 15 shots, and 2 boosters.

  • That sounds awful. Thankfully the regimen now is only one shot of HRIG and four doses of the vaccine over two weeks.
