Native species of bats have returned to 麻豆影院 for the summer. Unfortunately, our local bats have a high rate of infection with the rabies virus, which is 100 percent fatal to humans. However, an extremely effective rabies vaccine can provide immunity to rabies when administered after an exposure (postexposure prophylaxis) or for protection before an exposure occurs (preexposure prophylaxis). If you are bitten by an animal, contact your medical provider or local health department immediately to determine the potential for rabies exposure, the need for treatment, and to decide whether or not to test the animal for rabies.
