In India, we only have fruit bats, and they do not bite people or animals, and they don't spread rabies. A specific bat type called vampire bats are the one which can spread rabies. Luckily, they are not in Indian. So you don't have to worry. Rabies vaccinations are similar to another vaccinations. Any one can get it. No harm in it.
