Rabies can be Found in Many Parts of the World.
Protect you and your Family
Vaccination involves a course of three injections before you travel, usually given over a period of 28 days. If you’re bitten, licked, or scratched by an animal in a country where rabies is a problem, further doses of the rabies vaccine (with or without a special anti-rabies injection around the wound) may be required as emergency treatment.
Rabies is found throughout the world, particularly in Asia, Africa, and parts of Central and South America. Dogs are the cause of most rabies infections in people.
Rabies is a very serious infection which affects the central nervous system. It can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages as symptoms may be non-specific (which are common to many infections). Initial symptoms can include anxiety, headaches and fever. Subsequently, there are spasms of the swallowing muscles making it difficult or impossible for patients to drink (hydrophobia), and respiratory failure sets in.
