All right, all right, all right

I'm gonna get the shots.

Shit.

Edited to add: Three and a half hours in the ER, since my clinic didn't stock the vaccine. And I have to go back four more times. Argh.

I believe that rabies prophylaxis functions, at least for some period of time, as vaccination. (One would have to examine the documentation about the prophylaxis to determine that length of time.) If one has had the vaccination, one should not require prophylaxis if one's rabies titer is sufficient for adequate defense.

If I ever go to India, I'd get the vaccination. There's something like 10,000 cases of human rabies in India every year, and the main vector is the dog (as it is in pretty much all countries except North America and some European countries). Too easy to pet a puppy, get a scratch, and die (like someone did in England, after visiting India, last month).
