  Oh damn, I got the rabies vaccine when I worked part time at a vet school because they offered it. They were like “Uh but you’re IT, you don’t really need it, so you could skip the hassle…” and I was like “Why would I turn down an opportunity to get a vaccine? Reprogramming my immune system is awesome, sign me up!”

  No wonder they looked annoyed, LMAO.

  I was advised to wait until I got out of the US to get the Rabies booster series. Ended up paying around $120 USD for all 3 shots. Checkmate, capitalists!

    Umm I can’t actually remember. I think it’s something like 1-5 years.

      Even at it’s longest, that’s about $2000 a year - that is still crazy.

        Yeah it’s crazy how corporations just extort you when the alternative is death.
