Why Get Rabies Vaccination?
Rabies is a very serious infection that affects the brain and nerves. Once symptoms appear, it is almost always fatal. It spreads through bites or scratches from infected animals like dogs, bats, or monkeys.
If you are travelling to areas where rabies is common, especially in rural or remote places, the rabies vaccine can give you strong protection.
At Townsend Pharmacy, our experts will guide you on the rabies vaccine cost, how many doses you need, and when to start the course before you travel.

How Do Rabies Vaccines Work?
The rabies vaccine helps your immune system recognise and fight the virus before symptoms appear. It is given as a series of injections before travel or after possible exposure.
When taken early, the vaccine provides vital protection against this deadly infection.
