I posted the following last night:

Since then, my friend talked to a "rabies" expert at Maricopa County Health Clinic in Phoenix and found out that he just needs to get a tetanus shot. Fortunately, he doesn't have to go through having rabies shots.
I did happen to do a little research while my friend was waiting to hear from the rabies expert, and I found some pretty good info on the CDC web site: http://www.cdc.gov/RABIES/exposure/postexposure.html

I'm glad to hear your friend doesn't need the rabies shots. From what I've heard, that's nearly as bad, or worse, than having to deal with the injury!
