Most ERs have rabies vaccine, if you get bit by a possibly rabid animal, and you're not just getting a vaccination. I am currently getting the four rabies post-cat-bite shots along with the immunoglobulin, tetanus shots, and antibiotics. You don't want rabies.

That’s not the same as the vaccine, that’s for post exposure prophylaxis. You get the vaccine prior to exposure. I got it a couple of years ago, it was a couple of hundred I think.

You do get vaccine as part of PEP (plus immunoglobulin if the injury is higher risk) but it’s a longer schedule than standard prevention.
