Rabies Vaccine in Lewes

Vaccination against rabies is advised if you’re travelling to an area where you could get rabies, particularly if:

you’re staying for a month or more
there’s unlikely to be quick access to appropriate medical care
you plan to do activities that could put you at increased risk of exposure to rabies, such as cycling or running

Rabies can be found in many parts of the world. GOV.UK provides a detailed list of countries that have rabies in domestic animals or wildlife.

Vaccination involves a course of 3 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 rabies vaccine (with or without a special anti-rabies injection given around the wound) may be required as emergency treatment.
