A tragic case recently highlighted the devastating consequences of rabies after a UK holidaymaker died months after a minor scratch from a dog while on holiday in Morocco.

Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but it is preventable with vaccination and prompt medical treatment after exposure. In this case, the scratch initially seemed minor and medical advice was not sought at the time.

If you are travelling to countries where rabies is present, it’s important to consider pre-travel vaccination, particularly if you will be spending time outdoors, around animals, or in remote areas.

At Medwyn Travel Clinic, we offer expert travel health advice and rabies vaccinations to help protect you before you travel.

Remember: Even a small scratch or bite from an animal abroad should always be taken seriously and assessed by a medical professional. Your safety while travelling matters.
