Essential Protection Against a Deadly Threat
Planning an extended trip, adventure holiday, or working with animals abroad? Protect yourself with the Rabies vaccine at Hemel Hempstead Travel Clinic. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear—but it’s entirely preventable with timely vaccination.
Whether you’re heading to Asia, Africa, Central or South America, or Eastern Europe, our travel clinic in Hemel Hempstead provides professional pre-travel vaccination services and expert advice—so you can explore safely and confidently.
Why Do You Need a Rabies Vaccine?
Rabies is a viral infection transmitted through the bite, scratch, or saliva of an infected animal—often stray dogs, monkeys, or bats. The virus affects the brain and nervous system, and without prompt treatment, it is almost always fatal.
Vaccination is crucial if you’re:
✓ Travelling to high-risk regions
✓ Staying in rural or remote areas
✓ Taking part in adventure activities or trekking
✓ Working with animals (e.g. vets, aid workers, wildlife researchers)
✓ Spending extended time in countries with limited access to medical care
Pre-exposure vaccination consists of 3 doses over a 21–28 day period, with boosters available for longer-term protection.
