      Okay that’s sort of what I thought.

      So the protocol, from like an insurance coverage decision-tree standpoint, in this situation, would have been to test the bat if possible and if not possible administer the vaccine?

      I was under the impression that the vaccine is pretty awful and a health ordeal in itself, and that while the dose wasn’t expensive, the aftercare is.

      And that is why, as I understand, the CDC protocol is only seek medical attention if there’s a visible bite.
