      There is but you have to get it within a few days of getting bitten. My fear is that Ill get infected without knowing like getting a tiny scratch from a bat or something. I know its really unlikely but its one of my irrational fears.

        No, I mean to get in advance, so you won't have to worry as much. It's not routinely used, but I'm sure you could get it if you were traveling to India or something.

          I wonder fi they could give me rabies shots just because...? I could tell them I was scratched by a strange animal then I would be good for a while.

            I think the post-exposure treatment involves more than just the vaccine, so telling them you were traveling into a high risk area is probably better.

              thanks. this could actually help me even though its giving in to an irrational fear but then I cant get rabies for sure.
