Rabies exposure in international travellers: Experience from a single travel clinic in Paris, France, 2018–2022
Travellers to rabies endemic countries should benefit from more targeted information based on the region visited, the animals they are likely to encounter, and the age of the travellers. Critically, they should be counselled on the importance of avoiding contact with animals, the long-lasting benefit of pre-travel rabies vaccination, and the need for adequate post-exposure prophylaxis.
