getting a rabies shot in the US is a pain in the ass, but it’s definitely still worth doing. (speaking from experience)
when i got the first shot, they gave me like 3-4 other shots too, but it was for a cat bite so mileage may vary on that part. i went to the ER for the first shot because you need to get it within 24 hours. at the ER, i found out that the ER was the only place i could get it (at least where i was, not sure if that is true nationwide). and i had to go back to the ER 3 times for follow up shots, each on a specific day. and each time i had to wait 3-4 hours for a 5 minute shot.
absolutely still worth doing though. the rabies numbers are crazy. 100% chance to die if you have rabies and no vaccine. 0% chance to die with the vaccine.
i also found out that there are pre-exposure and post-exposure rabies vaccines, and the pre-exposure ones only require 3 shots and can be gotten at a pharmacy, but the post-exposure ones require an ER visit. (again, this might vary from state to state)
