I don't have experience personally with this but if it was my kid I would at minimum monitor extremely closely/take her to doctor....
I wasn't 100% if that was the case as in if you get a symptom you can get a shot. 100% agree
This. Get to doctor immediately
I kept thinking “when am I going to read about the bet??” until I hit your postFWIW - I thought the title said strange bet
Try calling your child's pediatrician?
Can always go to the ED for the first injection as well.
Yeah, they like to give that first injection on day 0
Yeah, no more abdominal injections.......
And it can take months to years for symptoms to develop.
It’s 5 shots, in the muscle, not stomach.
I think he meant the abdomen, not the internal organ.
When I had my hip replaced I had to get daily shots in the abdomen to prevent blood clots. Good thing my wife is an expert with a needle.

Whatever you say N.D.You know you want to know!

Got the two shots in the arms and said they hurt like hell. Plus a shot in the hand where it looked like there could have been a mark from the bat. She said it hurt real bad but is ok. Her hand is pretty swollen though. She’s 15 (well 16 today actually) but a big baby so she was freaking out. She’s an idiot for touching it but if anyone has followed the teenager support thread they know that I’m basically the first responsible parental figure she’s pretty much ever had.
If they try to bill you, maybe you can talk to a social worker there. I think most hospitals have charity programs that will pay for the bill if the parents cannot pay it. The parents do have to prove they can't pay for it. You did the right thing bringing her in.
Hopefully you did not sign anything saying you would pay. My wife's hospital just billed someone $49,000 for rabies shots.
No absolutely not and they had to call her guardian to get her verbal consent for ER services. Legally no way I am bound to pay. That’s absolutely an insane price. If it’s like $1500-3000or something whatever I’ll pay. But obviously I’m not paying a bill like that.
I don’t know how much the other shots cost, but the one they injected into the wound is a monoclonal antibody, and those tend to be extremely pricey.
They are probably never seeing that money. As you can imagine a family that lets their kid not have health insurance for 6 months out of general incompetence and laziness doesn’t have the money to pay a pricey hospital bill.
The low end is for the vaccine I believe, not the post exposure stuff. I know this because we travelled to Belize a few months ago and the rabies vaccine was recommended. Our provider suggested we call our insurance to make sure it is covered because each shot (3 shot series) was $600 a piece. I called, got the "yep, it's covered" only to then see three separate $1800 bills for the shots (wife already had hers, so it was 5400 or so for me and my 2 kids). After some battles, they relented and ended up covering it because of "incorrect info given to us over the phone". Apparently it wasn't supposed to covered under our plan
Lmao
Our system is so dumb. Insane I can’t ask how much it will cost and even get an estimate. Have to wait weeks later to see what price the magic oracle came up with.
get seen.
