Vaccine for Rabies?
Posted: 01-20-08 09:54am

Folks, First time poster here, appreceiate any help.

Can I get a Vaccination in Rio, for Rabies. It would be the 3rd dose I need. I could stay at home and get the 3rd but would like to fly out sooner, as my friends are going sooner. What do you think?

You are supposed to get the doses on day 0(just got on 18th Jan), day 7 and day 28. Now the thing is I will miss the day 28 dose. Can I get that in Rio? Or How close can I get that to day 7, like say on day 17(as opposed to 2Cool?

I am think of playing it safe and stying and gettting the 3rd on day 28. But I am just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and could maybe advise.

thanks

The third dose for rabies can be given on 21 day or 28 day of initial dose.
What have you done?
Are you at high professional risk for rabies or you live in an area where rabies is prevalent?
