??? -- Please help me here! I am from the old school and have had dog bites etc. off and on all my life. Not sure, but I thought the human did NOT get any kind of "rabies shots" unless, during the 10 day periiod the animal showed signs of the ailment! Then, a series of shots were given. Well, it's been so long since I've even let anyone know of any bites I've had, guess I really am "old school and old uninformed"! BTW - wouldn't the Vet records of Congo and/or his K9 family show if there was a lax in this dept.? Surely the James family, owning multiple dogs, would keep up with their check ups etc. I really thought that ONLY IF THERE WAS A QUESTION - would these really tough shots be given to a human!! I'm lost on all of this but certainly would like to know more on what is and/or is not required for BITES and what is or is not needed for same. WOW and really a double wow to me??

I know I got about 6 shots that first day. After that it was a single rabies vaccine over a period of days. Kaiser followed the WHO rules and gave me a final shot at the end of 3 months, I believe. But even being heavy, I did not receive a total of more than about a dozen or so. But every time someone talks about a dog bite victim getting rabies shots they throw in some huge number. Since the shot number is off, I bet the bite number is also. Ruth Sandra Kozub <skozub@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Did any of you read this article about Congo? Did anyone else notice that they said the gardener was bitten 96 times and had to have 65 rabies shots???????? Since when would anyone be given 65 rabies shots?
