I have scanned the insert leaflet the nurse gave me to read and enjoy!!

The writing was to small to put here so it is in the Work photo galleries side1 and side 2 should you want a read. Having said that if you are in an at risk group it is a no brainer to get it there is NO second chance with rabies.

Oh boy my fav thing post bat bite last year. I had tried a couple of years ago to get a rabies vac course as l deal with bats and was told that there was a problem and none in the country for a year so never went back.

Then l got a bat bite by a bat behaving very strangely.Spent several hours in the middle of the night tracking down protocols for what to do. Actually l was meant to put them here will do so in the next couple of days so others know what to do in a bad situation.

Normal vaccination protection is in your arm and days 0. 7. 21 if you are having your initial vaccine.

If you get on the dodgy end of something possibly nasty it is 2 in both thighs and then 5 in the arms alternating so they do not fall off... hahaha .. that is not funny.. ermm no err well actually that is the reason. Oh f**king brilliant Dr hohoho make my day more.

7 injections later and last 3 making me feel lousy l am now safe and intend to keep the bloody things up to avoid a repeat.

The contral list is not something that you really want to read it will scare the pants off you, did me after l had my first one and the nurse gave it to me. As far as l know the arm ones last 3 of which gave me a fever and very sore arms are the same ones as inital vaccine course.
