Yeah, it's a lot less shots now and they tend to be around where the bite happened. Which sucks, but I can't emphasiste this enough -- it sucks a lot less than rabies.

It used to be something like 14 shots in the stomach. I had to get them when I was about 8 years old a looooooong time ago and I remember it hurt like hell.
