China
Why this vaccine may be relevant

Source: TravelHealthPro (China)Understanding this vaccine
What it protects against
Rabies virus, which affects the nervous system and is almost always fatal once symptoms appear.
How it spreads
Through bites, scratches or licks from infected animals — most often dogs.
Why travellers may be at risk
Remote areas, longer stays, activities like cycling or running, and limited access to prompt treatment increase the risk.
How vaccination helps
Pre-travel doses prepare your immune system and simplify the treatment needed if you're exposed — you should still seek medical care straight away after any bite.

Through bites from infected ticks in forests and grassland (and, rarely, unpasteurised dairy products).

Why travellers may be at risk
