Wouldn't she get rabies as well

You have a better chance at beating cancer than surviving a rabid dog bite.
I don't know where you get THAT from, but people get rabies shots (after exposure) all the time.
I know 3 people personally, 2 of them are my relatives! They got bitten by a bat last summer.
I don't know how effective vaccinations are (which are given BEFORE exposure).
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?

Indeed.
The only way the post-exposure rabies vaccines would be ineffective would be if they were not given until after symptoms began.
Pre-exposure vaccines are also, thus far at least, completely effective. I don't think there are any incidences of vaccinated people (provided their vaccines are up to date) contracting rabies. I've had them, as a wildlife biologist, and I've handled and been bitten by bats with no kind of issue. (Although, I highly doubt that any of the bats I handled had rabies). -

I know humans can get rabies shots after getting bitten or scratched (happened to my uncle who drunkenly tried to fight a raccoon), so Donna would have to. You have to get a lot, and they're really painful.
My question is: would Tad have to get the shots as well? Rabies is spread through saliva and blood contact. When his mom was doing CPR on him, I know some of the blood and saliva got in his mouth. If he even had a cut that got Cujo's or his mother's blood or spit in it, he could get it too.
If he were my kid, he'd have the shots, just to be safe.
There is no objective reality and that's

You can get get rabies from being bitten by a rabid animal but it's not guaranteed. Even so it's very important that Donna get that wound checked out and treated for rabies.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.
