@Jammy1800 (cont) Its good to get a quote, because some of these shots can be quite expensive. The company we worked for at the time had an excellent benefits plan and covered the cost of all of our shots.

@Jammy1800 (cont.) The pre-vaccination will buy you additional time while you wait for the final vaccination to arrive. I would suggest that you speak to a doctor/nurse about getting the vaccination. The doctor that we saw at the travelers clinic recommended that we get the vaccination because of the areas we were planning to visit.

@Jammy1800 If you are bitten and you need to be vaccinated, depending on where you are in the world it could take a bit of time to track down the vaccination and have it brought to your location. Note: by being pre-vaccinated with Rabies you are not immune. If you are bitten you need to be given another shot (something similar to a booster).
