Rabies

Prevention: The Key to Safe Travels

Vaccination is crucial, especially for travelers visiting high-risk areas. Here’s what you need to know:

• Pre-exposure Vaccination: Recommended for individuals at increased risk, such as those engaging in activities like cycling and running, workers handling animals, and travellers to remote areas where medical care is difficult to access.
• Post-exposure Management: After any potential exposure (bite or scratch), immediate cleaning of the wound and seeking medical advice are vital. Pre-exposure vaccination simplifies post-exposure treatment.

Additional Safety Measures

• Avoid Animal Contact: Avoid approaching wild or stray animals. Do not attempt to handle them or offer food that attracts animals.
