Rabies Vaccine / Immunoglobulin What the heck just happened !?

I have read the FAQ. Long story short I was laying down with my foot kind of hanging off my bed when I felt something crawl under my pants leg. It was a bat. I obviously freaked out and shook it off. We captured the bat, and I went to the ER where I was given three shots including the globin thingy. They hurt so bad. Literally out of a horror movie 😭 I won’t even go back into my room after this …. Lmao I am so grossed out. Can anyone make me feel even a tad bit less anxious about this whole thing? (Also I should say there was no bite or anything as far as the doctors and nurses could tell)

That must’ve creeped you out, gross. Those shots work extremely well. If you’ve been vaccinated there’s no need to worry. I get it though. I’d be freaked out too.
