As someone who has had the rabies vax, can we maybe just maybe get it to where its less than 12 gigantic needles in the whole thing spread out over a course of a month? First day for a 210 lb person is 8 shots(2 in each arm & leg). After that you still have 4 to 5 left over the course of a few weeks as boosters.

Dont get me wrong... Human Pincushion better than Rabies death but damn is it a rough time and inconvenient as hell to go to an emergency service every time for a booster

No idea where you got your treatment. It should be 4 injections over 14 days.

I recieved mine via a local ER eho said the vax available was weight based. The first 8 were due to that an each one counted as a booster. I was told this is standard

Those were antibodies injection, not vaccines (or possibly some injections were vaccines but most weren't).

The injection given after a possible exposue is antibodies AND vaccines.

The one done preventively are just vaccines. those are small injecton, just like a flu shot (typically 3 injections weeks aparts).
