"The parents looked, didn't see any signs of a bite or scratches or saliva, and didn't seek getting a rabies vaccine," a health official said.

    It isn’t protocol for the hospitals to give the shot for a bat in the room. Probably would have gone to the hospital and been turned away.

    Or they would have gone to the hospital and had the Doctor find the bite/scratch that led to the rabies infection.

    And it’s easy after the fact to say oh should have done this. As they say hindsight is 20/20.

    Would you be saying this if the child was left in a hot car? Unattended in the bath? Found unsecured chemicals under the sink?

    As I said, ignorance is no excuse for a dead child.

      You’re obviously not a parent. Downvoted and blocked.
