Rabies is a deadly disease that can be prevented with timely vaccination. At Touchwood Pharmacy, we offer private rabies vaccination to keep you safe, especially if you’re travelling to high-risk areas.
We provide safe and convenient access to the rabies vaccine for travel in Bromley, Camberley, Leighton-Buzzard, Northampton, Northolt, Ramsgate, Streatham, Sydenham, and Walsall.
Why Get Rabies Vaccination?
Rabies is a serious and often fatal infection spread through bites or scratches from infected animals like dogs, bats, or monkeys. It is common in parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. The rabies vaccine helps protect you before exposure and can save your life if you’re at risk.
Our team provides clear advice on when to start your rabies vaccination schedule, how many doses are needed, and when boosters may be required. Whether you’re an adventure traveller, animal worker, or simply visiting a high-risk region, we are here to help you stay protected.
Do I Need Rabies Vaccination Services?
Are you travelling to a country where rabies is common? Will you be spending time in rural areas or around animals? Are you working in a job that may expose you to bites or scratches?
If yes, then rabies vaccination is strongly recommended. Depending on your situation, we may advise:
- Rabies vaccine for travel in a 3-dose schedule before your trip
- Private rabies vaccination if you’re not eligible for NHS cover
- A booster if it’s been more than a year since your last jab
We’ll also explain any mild side effects like soreness or tiredness and make sure you understand how to respond in case of exposure.
How Do Rabies Vaccines Work?
The rabies virus vaccine helps your body create antibodies to fight off the virus before it reaches your nervous system. If you are exposed later, your immune system will already be prepared to defend you, giving you crucial protection and peace of mind.
How to protect yourself and others?
Book your rabies vaccination with our trained immunisation experts and travel with confidence, knowing you’re protected.
When Should I Visit a Rabies Vaccination Clinic?
Ideally, you should get your rabies vaccine at least 4 weeks before your travel date to complete all doses on time. We also offer fast bookings for urgent travel needs.
