... a well intentioned mom brought a dead bat to her child's school in Montana recently. The result is that over 90 students who had touched the bat in 5 separate classrooms will undergoe the anti-Rabies vaccine at the Stevensville Elementary School.
... the cost of the six doses of Rabies vaccine per child could surpass a cost of USD$150,000 .. with the school paying up to USD$70,000 through its liability insurance.
... suffice it to say, the school district has set a policy of having school visitors obtain a pass to enter the school and its classrooms.
