I posted back in August about an encounter with a Bat that I thought bit me on the back while I ran underneath it.
Right yesterday night I was walking my Nan to work (she's disabled and has a walking stick) and I felt something sharp go directly into my leg, then saw a Bat fly by past my leg, when I got in I took a look and saw a mark which was bleeding so I'm definitely certain I have been bitten.
I cleaned it anyway and phoned 111 (UK people will know what that is) and they told me to get to hospital within 4 hours which I did.
When I got there they said the suppliers who deal with the vaccine ain't there till tomorrow so I went home couldn't sleep because I have all this on my mind again.
Today I went back and was seen almost instantly (although I saw someone different) they said to me that since I had the full course of Rabies Vaccine last time (Immunoglobulin, 5 Doses of Rabies Vaccine) they said it'll cover you for 6 Months even if you're bitten again.
Is this true guys? Because I've read and been told almost everywhere that if you've been exposed again you need 2 more Rabies Vaccines.
The person who ordered them for me last time was the guy who I saw last night, he wasn't there today.
I'm worried that the guy today did something different than the guy last night was going to do if the people he needed to contact where there, like look at the wrong website or talk to the wrong people.
All this is starting again, I know it's rare but rare doesn't mean impossible.
