I think it's still a series of shots right in the stomach...

NO, it's a fine needle in the upper arm (and you switch arms between shots) and many fewer shots than were once required. The first treatment is the worst, because you get extra IgG shots (not vaccine) the number of which varies on your weight.

I don't think so. My family underwent the rabies vacine about ten years ago. We all had three shots in the arm and were told that if we were bitten by a rabid animal it would be two more in the arm. There is a window of opportunity in which the shots must be given between the bite and the shot.

Since the girl is under doctor care I'm assuming she has received this series. I hope the men that handled that beaver also have received that series. I understand after rabies develops there is still no cure.
