So I'm in a bit of a bind. I need the rabies vaccine. 4 shots over 2 weeks. I'm being required to go inside an ER to do so, because I guess no one else is capable of a simple muscular injection into my arm? If I catch COVID-19 I and two members of my family will die.

Called the ERs. They will not do the injections outside. I'm having to choose between possibly dying from rabies, or possibly dying from COVID-19 (which includes two loved ones likely catching it from me and also dying).

Ideas?

My moral and ethical code is clear: no ER, as the risk to two others is absolutely unacceptable.

I don't understand why they can't ship it to my doc, or do the injection outside. The area I'm in has extremely high COVID-19 community spread. I don't know if we even have a single ICU bed left.

Additional: the animal that bit me is not one of the species that is known to carry rabies in my state.

Additional: no fever, no sign of any infection at the site.

I'm slamming my head against the wall right now.
