Rabies is rare but very deadly infection of the brain and nerves, It is usually passed to people from a bite or a scratch of an infected animal. The virus can infect the body one of two ways.
Rabies is not present in the UK other than in some of the wild bat population but it is a disease which is endemic in different parts of the world. If you are travelling to certain countries then it is important to take precautions against rabies and understand where the risks lie.
The key to gaining protection against rabies and using the rabies vaccination effectively is understanding the disease and how the vaccination works.

Rabies is a very serious and thankfully very rare brain infection which also affects the central nervous system that is most usually caught from the scratch or bite of an infected animal. It is a disease found throughout the world but especially in Asia, Africa and Central and South America.
The UK has been free from rabies since the beginning of the 20th century with the exception of the disease present in a small amount of the wild bat population. It is, therefore, a relatively rare but nevertheless very serious disease. If you are thinking of travelling to various parts of the world, there is a distinct risk of rabies in Central and South America, Asia and Africa.
