How Can A Bat Attack Be Treated?
I had a bat land on my head. 48 hours later I got my day 0 shots. I got 6 shots of immune globulin and then the rabies shot. I m 270 pounds. If I continue my day 3, 7, and 14 shots should I be in the clear and also was 6 shots of immune globulin the correct amount considering they did not weigh me ?

Hello
It should be taken as per the dose 40 IU* body weight. To be infiltrated over the site of bite and the remaining amount to be infiltrated intramuscularly. And anti rabies vaccine to be taken as per the WHO schedule.
