It is! The shots are normally around 600 to 800 each, and you need 3, typically.

The clinic out there does a spring and fall event so new volunteers and anyone needing a booster can come all on the same days. One vial of vaccine holds enough to do 10 people, so instead of giving one shot and tossing the rest as would happen if we all got shots randomly, they schedule us to all come on the same days, and pass the savings on to us, as most of us aren't paid to do this work.

I tested positive for antibodies, but not high enough to safely work with rabies vector animals, so I'm due for a booster. I believe we need to get a titer every 2 years to show we still have proper antibody levels to keep working with them.

So it's a bit of a hassle, but we have so many cute critters that I can't work with without doing it!

A tiny baby fox they brought back to life after it passed. It's big now, and still just as adorable!
