What is the Rabies vaccine?
The rabies vaccine protects against rabies, one of the vaccine-preventable illnesses that most affects travellers today.
Aqua's protocol is three-dose pre-exposure course, given on days 0, 7 and 21 to 28 per the UK Green Book. Full cover lasts long-term cover after the primary course, with a booster for ongoing high-risk work or travel.
We usually recommend the rabies vaccine for travellers to remote areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America where medical care is limited, cyclists and hikers, longer-stay visitors, and anyone working with animals. Our pharmacist reviews eligibility before every jab.
