What Is Rabies?

Rabies is a deadly viral disease spread through the saliva of infected animals—usually via bites or scratches. It affects the nervous system and, once symptoms appear, it is almost always fatal.

Rabies is prevalent in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, especially in areas with free-roaming dogs and poor access to post-exposure treatment.

Who Needs the Rabies Vaccine?

Pre-exposure vaccination is recommended for:

• Long-stay travellers to high-risk regions

• Trekking, cycling, or camping in rural areas

• Volunteers, students, and expats

• Vets, animal handlers, and wildlife photographers

How the Rabies Vaccine Works

• Standard schedule: Three doses over 21–28 days (Day 0, 7, and 21/28)

• Accelerated schedule available if travelling soon

• Post-bite treatment still needed, but fewer doses required and no rabies immunoglobulin if vaccinated

Why Get Vaccinated Before You Travel?

• Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms appear

• Access to emergency treatment abroad may be limited

• Vaccination buys you crucial time to reach medical care

Side Effects & Safety

• Common: Mild redness or soreness at injection site

• Less common: Fatigue, low-grade fever

Most travellers report minimal discomfort.
