Possible Rabies exposure 15y ago

2018-02-08 12:33:24
Woke up with a bat in my room in 2002 and showed no signs of a bite. CDC still recommends getting post exposure treatment. 90% of rabies in humans cases show symptoms within a year but there is one that showed 25 years post exposure. Should I get the vaccines over 15 years later? Or can I relax?
