Description

In this episode:

  • How getting bitten by a mammal whilst on holidays will not only ruin the holiday, but can be fatal if the right post exposure care is delayed or not given correctly
  • How 59,000 people a year die from rabies; 15 million post exposure shots are given worldwide in a year
  • How for the younger traveller, the intradermal vaccination schedule is just as effective and much cheaper, but must be done in a Travel Medicine Clinic
  • How we must speak with all our patients about rabies vaccination
