Every 9 minutes someone in the World dies from
Rabies! CDC. ? Rabies is a fatal viral disease
affecting the brain and nervous  system, which
develops from animal bites and scratches. At
least  60 000 deaths occur worldwide.  Every
year about 15-20 million people seek medical help
following a bite, lick or scratch from an animal
at risk of having Rabies.  In human history less
than a handful of people have ever survived
Rabies.

Rabies Risks
Bites or scratches from dogs both domestic and
wild are the commonest cause worldwide of getting
Rabies, however other mammals like cats, monkeys,
bats, racoons, foxes can also carry Rabies. The
best way is to avoid contact with all animals
whilst abroad do not feed them, leave food out
be careful when cycling and running and be
especially careful when travelling with children
as they lack awareness and are unlikely to report
scratches or licks by animals

Rabies vaccination ( Non-live)
Better still pre- travel vaccination is a highly
effective measure and stops the need for getting
HRIG  (Human Rabies ImmunoGlobulin) following
exposure.   Both HRIG and Rabies vaccination are
in short supply around the world on a regular
basis. The primary course of Rabies vaccination
consists of 3 doses usually given over a 28 days
period but may be shortened to 21 days. A super
accelerated Rabies travel vaccination course can
now also given on day 0, 3 and  7 with a booster
due at 1 year. Please note that receiving rabies
vaccine prior to travel does not eliminate the
need for a medical help.

Urgent medical advice should always be sought
following any possible exposure to rabies as
additional doses of rabies vaccine may be needed
together with antibiotics and a Tetanus
booster. ? As an occupational physician with
postgraduate training in travel health, Dr Nomy
oversees the travel vaccination programme at
FlyingMedicine ensuring clients get risk based
vaccinations  ?
