How the Rabies Vaccine Works

The rabies vaccine helps your body build protection by creating antibodies against the virus. It’s usually given as three doses over 21–28 days, but if you’re travelling soon, it can be completed in just 7 days.  

If you work with animals or travel often, booster doses might be recommended. Our expert pharmacists will guide you through your personalised schedule and answer any questions along the way.
