I got the series fifteen years ago. Four shots on day one(both hips, both shoulders), and one shot again on days 3,7,14 and 28. Not too bad: like tetanus shots. I was stiff on the morning of day two, but had to walk four miles in to a campsite to notify the other victims that the animal did test positive for rabies. By the time I had walked back out, the stiffness was gone.
