I am a retired programmer, who have coded safety-critical embedded systems (mostly fire detection) for 40 years.

Rabies in the U.S.I am preparing a guest lecture in the real-time programming course at NTNU in Trondheim.

Programs for uninsured and underinsured patients.

Current vaccines are relatively painless and are given in your arm like a flu or tetanus vaccine rabies vaccines are not given in the stomach. Rabies immune globulin and the first dose of rabies vaccine should be given by your health care provider as soon as possible after exposure.

In the United States, PEP consists of a regimen of one dose of immune globulin and four doses of rabies vaccine over a 14-day period.

Decisions to start PEP will be based on your type of exposure, the animal you were exposed to, whether the animal is available for testing, and laboratory and surveillance information for the geographic area where the exposure occurred. After any wounds have been addressed, your doctor – possibly in consultation with your state or local health department – will help you decide if you need treatment known as rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). See your doctor for attention for any trauma due to an animal attack before considering the need for rabies vaccination. Remember that rabies is a medical urgency but not an emergency. If you are unsure, seek medical advice to be safe.) (It’s important to know that, unlike most other animals that carry rabies, many types of bats have very small teeth which may leave marks that disappear quickly. Wash any wounds immediately with soap and water and then plan to see a healthcare provider. If you’ve been in contact with any wildlife or unfamiliar animals, particularly if you’ve been bitten or scratched, you should talk with a healthcare or public health professional to determine your risk for rabies or other illnesses.
