If the authorities said to get the vaccine-get it. Rabies is fatal-in that context 10g is inconsequential.

Fatheroftwo; Thread below. Some "nonsense" talked, apparently. Your experience makes it interesting. Rabies.

This is why every trapper needs to seriously consider getting the shot's pre exposure. Most health insurances cover the pre exposure shots 100% ( I didn't even have to pay for the doc visit). So pre exposure shots are "most often" covered by insurance because they are viewed as a "vaccine". Post exposure shots are NOT and you're usually on the hook for the entire amount BECAUSE a "vaccine" is available. Clear as mud?
Now, get bit after your "vaccination" shot and they may suggest you get a booster but generally covered.
These rabies posts show up here a few times a year it seems. I encourage all here who handle wildlife regularly to check into the rabies vaccine.
That said you may have to contact your insurance provider to have them look up a location where the vaccine is available. Not everyone carries it, or even knows its available. The CDC has literature on it if anyone cares. That is not 100% according to the health department, Here is what they say. "If you have been vaccinated previously with one of the currently licensed vaccines, you will still need two booster doses of rabies vaccine. The first dose should be given as soon as possible and the second dose three days later. Rabies immunoglobulin should NOT be given." I would guess if you are not getting blood work done to check your titer's level you are over due. Here is what the MN health department says about booster shots. "Antibody titers and booster vaccination Every 6 months in persons in the continuous-risk category. Every 2 years for persons in the frequent-risk category."

Makes on wonder what the cost of those post exposure shots are in Canada or Mexico..
In India, those shots are less than $12.00 !! Post exposure cost you nothing here in Ontario-covered.All necessary healthcare is covered here. If you want the pre - exposure you will pay out of pocket unless you have private insurance.

Dental is not universal-if you are an old age pensioner (65+) on fixed income you're covered. The NDP federally had universal dental care as part of their platform on the last election.

Don't play with rabies, get the shot. When I first got them insurance covered all but $300. The first shot is most of the cost. The Immunoglobulin shot is very expensive. I convinced my doc to skip it and just get the series of 3 because of the time of year and he consider my experience with animals and knowledge of them. That is Westren Kansas and a doc that knows the community. I would do what they say or you might wake up dead. Not something to mess around with.?

Well that was minimal pain. Got three shots and I’m out of there. Now the pain comes when I get the bill.
