I remember when I was getting my rabies vaccine
terracore -
I received that same vaccine. Plus three injections of gamma globulin which the nurse kindly put into 3 needles each containing 3cc of the antibody. She said normally they would max out at 2cc per shot, but that would have required 5 gamma globulin injections, plus of course the 1st round of the rabies vaccine. I felt like I was sitting on marbles for about two days as it slowly absorbed into my system.
Clearly the vaccine worked as I'm still here. At the time I was treated not a single person who contracted rabies had ever lived. I think there has now been one survivor, a few years ago. There's a good chance I'm now alive thanks to that injection. I realized it's probably why I'm such a big fan of vaccines. Thanks for the reminder.
