Any mammal can get rabies, but in the U.S. The animals that are carriers of rabies are racoons, skunks, foxes, coyotes, and bats. Rabies vaccine is also given to people who are at high risk for animal bites, such as veterinarians.

Answer 11

It is safe.: Depending on one's itinerary, per exposure Rabies Vaccine can be appropriate.

Answer 12

Safe but: If going on a short trip < 2-3 weeks, only reasons to get Rabies Vaccine is (& this are reasonable) if getting bitten or scratched would require evacuation to location where rabies globulin is available. Having rabies series allows you to skip rabies globulin & just have more rabies vaccine--but you still need more attention and vaccines if bitten. On short trip, careful avoidance might be enough.

Answer 13
