Rabies is a viral infection that can be contracted from the saliva of a rabies infected or rabid animal. In most cases infection results from a bite but even a lick on an open cut or sore can be enough.
Symptoms start with itching and tingling at the site of the healed bite and then rapidly progresses to include headache, fever, spreading paralysis, confusion, aggression and hydrophobia. It may take many weeks or months for symptoms to develop although it usually takes two to eight weeks. Animals may be infectious for five days before they develop symptoms.
The risk to travellers depends on their exposure to infected animals and so travellers visiting tourist resorts are generally at very low risk. Pre-exposure immunisation against rabies is recommended for long-stay travellers/residents and those who intend to travel to rural and remote areas. It is also advised that travellers do not approach or handle animals you don't know, particularly if they are acting strangely.

All vaccines administered by The IGP are carried out by fully qualified GPs & unlike some Travel Clinics, we do not charge patients a consultation fee on top of the vaccination price.
* Please be aware that for full immunity some vaccination courses, with more than one vaccine required, may take up to a month or longer. Please, also be aware that many vaccinations will not become fully effective until around 10 - 14 days after the course completion. It is strongly advised that you leave plenty of time to complete the course before your trip. Intervals between different vaccines or doses are recommended, Which allows time for antibodies to be produced and any reaction to the vaccine to subside.
