Rabies Travel Vaccine Clinic in Toronto

Rabies is a rare viral infection that affects the brain. The virus is spread by infected animals when their saliva comes in contact with you through biting, scratching or licking. Animals which may carry rabies can include dogs, cats, foxes, skunks, raccoons, bats and cattle. However, the types of animals which most often can be infected with rabies vary from country to country. Yes. Rabies vaccine given now before any potential contact with an infected animal may save your life and will reduce the number of injections you will require if you are exposed to rabies during your trip. Even if you have been vaccinated, prompt medical treatment will still be required if you are exposed to a potentially rabid animal.

Think about receiving a rabies vaccination if:

  • You will be spending one month or more in countries where rabies exists.
  • You will be travelling in rural areas, away from a major medical centre.
  • You will be working in a job that may expose you to rabies (for example, the risk of getting rabies is greater for certain laboratory workers, veterinarians, animal control and wildlife workers, spelunkers, forest rangers, and conservation officers.)

To get your shot for RABIES vaccination call the Toronto Travel Vaccine and Immunization Clinic at: 416-461-2419.
