What Is Rabies and Why Is It So Dangerous?
Rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system and is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. The virus is transmitted through saliva, typically via an animal bite or scratch.
Early symptoms include:
- Fever and headache
- Tingling or discomfort at the wound site
- Anxiety or confusion
- Difficulty swallowing and fear of water (hydrophobia)
Once symptoms begin, rabies is untreatable, making pre-exposure vaccination the best form of prevention.
Who Should Get the Rabies Vaccine?
The rabies vaccine is recommended for:
- Travellers to high-risk countries, especially in rural areas
- Backpackers and adventure travellers
- Children travelling abroad, as they’re more likely to play with animals
- Veterinary workers and animal handlers
- People staying long-term in areas without quick access to emergency care
If you’re unsure about your risk level, our team will guide you during your pre-travel consultation.
Why Get the Rabies Vaccine Before You Travel?
✔ Prevents a fatal illness with no cure once symptoms start
✔ Buys time for treatment if bitten abroad — no panic or emergency evacuation
✔ Peace of mind for travellers, aid workers, and families
✔ Often recommended or required for long-term travel, remote areas, or animal-related work
✔ Essential if travelling to regions with limited access to post-bite treatment

FAQs – Rabies Vaccine
Is the rabies vaccine safe?
Yes — it’s widely used with a strong safety profile. Side effects are typically mild, such as soreness or a slight fever.
How many doses do I need?
A full course includes three doses, usually over 21–28 days. Boosters may be required if you continue to be at risk.
Do I still need treatment if I’m bitten after vaccination?
Yes — even after vaccination, you’ll still need two post-exposure doses, but you won’t need immunoglobulin (which is often unavailable abroad). The vaccine gives you crucial protection and time.

How long before travel should I start the course?
Ideally, at least 4 weeks before travel to allow time for all doses.
