I was just reminded - by a sad contemporary repeat of this - of a post I made many years ago over at my even older inactive blog—and it is still needed today! So here it is again:
People are still afraid to get rabies shots:
The man — who lives east of Edmonton — did not get vaccinated after he was attacked in August 2006 and is now in serious condition in hospital, said Dr. Karen Grimsrud, a provincial health officer. Grimsrud said the Alberta man woke up in the middle of the night when the bat bit him, but he didn't show any symptoms until January. "Once you develop the neurological symptoms, there's very little that can be done," Grimsrud said Friday. "All we can do is make them comfortable."It used to be 26 shots—directly into the stomach. And it hurt, they say, a lot. BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED. Read:
Are the rabies shots given in the stomach?
No, the rabies vaccine has not been given in the stomach since the 1980s. For adults, it should only be given in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm (administration to the gluteal area is NOT recommended, as studies have shown this can result in a less effective immune response.)That's my community service report for the day. Best of luck and health to the poor guy in Edmonton.
Ask most Melbourne drivers what’s in their roadside emergency kit in Melbourne and you’ll hear a fairly predictable list. A torch. Maybe some jumper cables. A reflective vest that’s been sitting in the boot since the car was purchased. A first aid kit that nobody’s ever opened. Some even carry a fire extinguisher or a tow rope.
