Rabies Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
Urgent rabies treatment for travellers returning to the UK
If you’ve been bitten, scratched, or licked on broken skin by an animal abroad, you may have been exposed to rabies. At Fleet Street Clinic in central London, we provide immediate rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) — including Human Rabies Immunoglobulin (HRIG) — so you can start treatment without delay.
book consultationWhy urgent rabies treatment is essential
Rabies is rare in the UK but remains common across Asia, Africa, Central and South America. Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal. The only effective prevention after exposure is prompt wound care, rabies vaccination, and immunoglobulin (HRIG) for those not previously vaccinated. Time is critical: treatment should start as soon as possible after the bite or exposure.
