Essential Protection Against a Deadly Threat
Planning an extended trip, adventure holiday, or working with animals abroad? Protect yourself with the Rabies vaccine at Hendon Travel Clinic. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but timely vaccination can provide important protection against this serious infection.
Whether you’re travelling to Asia, Africa, Central or South America, or Eastern Europe, our travel clinic in Hendon provides professional pre-travel vaccination services and expert health advice to help you explore with greater safety and confidence.
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.

- Plan to travel for long periods in endemic areas
- Will be visiting remote locations without access to healthcare
- Are involved in outdoor, wildlife, or humanitarian work abroad

Are There Any Side Effects?
Rabies vaccines are generally well tolerated. Minor side effects may include:
✓ Soreness or redness at the injection site
