Rabies advice - June 2025

We have had an increase in enquiries seeking rabies vaccination advice for those of us travelling abroad in the near future, linked to recent news events.

'Rabies is a rare but deadly viral infection that affects the brain and nervous system. Human cases of rabies are extremely rare in the UK but the infection poses a risk to travellers visiting regions where the disease remains prevalent.'

For patient awareness, we are sharing an article on how to avoid rabies, and what to do if you're exposed whilst travelling. This was published on the gov.uk site this month.

This article advises from preparing to travel abroad, to recognising symptoms and responding to potential exposures.
