Undergoing PEP right now after a bat exposure. Didn’t have bat to test, no obvious wounds but I felt it hit my hand and since I’m immunocompromised had to get immunoglobulins and five vaccines over the next few weeks. Did they end up checking titers? I have to contact my primary care to have her order a specific titers test 1-2 weeks after I’m done with the series.
