Yellow Fever isn’t endemic to the states right? You have to pay for it here too but that makes sense since it’s actually unnecessary unless you wish to travel which is on you — allowing things like covid and rabies to go untreated is a public safety hazard though

Thanks for the explanation :) You have to pay for the flu shot here too (Egypt) but the Covid and Rabies vaccine are free including for visitors so if someone fancies a trip it might actually be cheaper to fly here and get them you weren’t joking

That’s insane. I know it happens but I always find it hard to wrap my head around. Did you also have to pay for covid vaccination?

How long ago was this? You need 4 doses of the modern rabies vaccine, and they aren’t any worse than any other injection

You have to pay for rabies shots in the US? Why the fuck

So make the first course free for everyone. You’ll likely have enough immunity by then even if you get bitten again and if you need to take regular preventative shots due to the risk of your work or hobbies you can pay for it
