Rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate. Something like less than 20 people in all of history have survived. Rabid is a good book if you're interested in pathology and medical history. So getting the shots was definitely the right call, especially if a bat was having a hard time flying. Bats get a bad rap for rabies in part because they are much more likely to encounter humans when they are sick. The actual infection rate for bats (estimated to be less than 1%) is lower than for many other animals and worldwide dogs are the most common carriers. Fortunately, we've had a pretty good vaccination campaign for canines in the US.
I don't work with bats currently beyond volunteering at my local zoo right now, but in the past I've worked on wind turbine studies and other surveys.

Source: am guy who played with a cat and kittens who were later found to be rabid and had rabies shots when he was five along with lots of other kids in his home town, so has life-long fascination with rabies. Also, this book.
Dude will be fine since it just happened and the bit is on his leg. It actually matters where you are bitten, because the virus slowly travels up the nerves to the brain, that creepy motherfucker. He has plenty of time to get the vaccine.
