  A 9 year old was bitten by a flying bat in an area known to be rabid,
during the interview with the parents. they are Orthodox Jehovah’s. They
accepted to give their son the vaccine but not the Immunoglobulins, as it is
prepared from human sources. You talked to the child that accepted to
follow his parent’s decision. Your action will be:
A. You will give the vaccine as it’s effectiveness is 100%
B. You will inform the child aid society of the parent’s refusal to
give the complete course of treatment.
C. You will give the vaccine because there is a great probability
that these bats are not rabid
D. You will give both the vaccine and IG to the child.
