I had rabies shots (5 doses in total) and they were definitely similar to flu shots. This was in 2017... I felt a minor pinch and that was it. The experience you are talking about is kind of fishy as adults usually don't get more than 5 doses of rabies shots anymore... and through thighs, those are for pediatric patients. I don't know where you live but it sounds like a shitty healthcare system if this is legit.

This is super anecdotal though. The pain felt from the shots is dependent on the individual.

Immunoglobulin is also administered as close to the exposure site as possible, usually infiltrating directly into the wound, so they are absolutely correct.
