If you are travelling to a country where rabies is present, getting vaccinated before you go could save your life. Touchwood Pharmacy in Lichfield offers rabies pre-exposure vaccination through our private travel clinic, giving you fast access to expert advice and protection without a GP referral. Rabies is a fatal viral infection transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal, most commonly dogs, bats, and monkeys. It is found across much of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and once symptoms develop, it is almost always fatal. Pre-exposure vaccination does not eliminate the need for post-exposure treatment, but it significantly simplifies it and buys you critical time in a medical emergency abroad.
