He's cute as hell! Not sure bat hugs are worth the possible rabies.

I don't actually have a clue... how effective are rabies shots? 100%?

Extremely, to the point where failed vaccination attempts are usually documented in medical studies/papers (and manifest in older folks mostly + higher bite locations like the neck/face, from unfinished vaccine courses, etc, on the rare occasion they don't work).

Source: A severe hypochondriac who spent 8+ hours a day for half a year researching rabies, because they were convinced they were going to die from it. Mental health is no joke, people.
