Question
I'm feeling quite anxious about something that happened over three weeks ago. I got bitten on the hand by a bat, and when I saw a general physician, they suggested just a tetanus shot. They mentioned that rabies vaccines aren't necessary for bat bites here in India. But I'm getting worried now. Is that really the case? Should I be doing anything else to protect myself from rabies?
