He doesn't get another chance before his next transformation.

When the pub members realize the two American tourists are likely wandering to their doom with the werewolf prowling about, they eventually decide they have to help and gather up a heavily-armed posse to hunt down the beast. Unfortunately, their initial reluctance leads to Jack already being killed and David being scratched, allowing the werewolf to pass the curse onto him before being shot dead.
