Place your bets on how many of the 950 will have complications or side effects from the rabies vaccine.

What is going on with this rabies kick? China is killing dogs by the trainload. Trying to burn off adrenaline since the Bird Flu epidemic didn't materialize?

But officials soon learned that a few girls apparently touched a bat captured by a counselor, and some girls had not used protective netting around their beds while they slept at night.

The counselor caught a bat and had a bunch of girls touch it? That was bright.

Probably good medicine. While Jeanna Giese's case is hopeful, it's unnecessary for others to go through her ordeal if they administer the vaccine now. (Giese was the first person to survive rabies without a vaccine. But she'll have lifelong motor skills issues because of it.)

Actually, I'd be much more worried about the bats catching cooties.

Being vaccinated because they touched a *captured* bat? Asinine. For being in the same building as bats? Asinine.

Prophylactic vaccination is recommended if one handles a *dying* (sick) bat, or has physical contact with an *unprovoked* bat.

No Screens? What about WestNile or any other diseases carried by mosquitoes.

Having been pursued by Girl Scouts at cookie time, I suggest that a rabies vaccine should be mandatory for all Girl Scouts everywhere..

... a few girls apparently touched a bat captured by a counselor ...

What sort of idiots are they hiring for counselors?

"Oh look, I caught a bat. Who wants to touch it?"

A teenage boy just died here in Houston of rabies. He awoke and found a dead bat in his room or maybe in his bed, I can't remember the details. Terrible tragedy but it could have been avoided with shots.
