I had the same experience while living in the US. Fortunately my insurance covered the shots (though there was no way to be sure of this at the time), so I “only” had to pay about $1000. It’s worth noting that the survival rate for symptomatic rabies isn’t just “very low” but basically zero. There are one or two known cases of people who made miraculous recoveries, but there is no treatment protocol known to be even slightly effective once symptoms appear. I was actually about to return to the UK when the incident occurred, and I got the final shots there (100% free, no questions asked).
