Hello. awoke the other night to find a bat in my bedroom. i can't see visible bites but need to know if i should have rabies vaccination.

Contact local health: Doctors have clear indications for why or when the series of rabies shots are given. These are generated by local rabies monitoring & CDC guidelines. It is not something you get by being in the presence of a bat. If anything docs usually over treat this issue if there is any good indication.I would contact a local health department for the guidelines in your region.
