How much does the rabies vaccine cost? At our Chislehurst travel clinic it is £85 per dose, £255 for the full 3-dose course. What is included, what affects the total, and how to book.
One of the first things travellers want to know is the price. At our Chislehurst travel clinic the pre-exposure rabies vaccine is £85 per dose, and the full course is three doses, which comes to £255. This guide explains what that includes and what can affect your total. For the full picture on the vaccine itself, see our rabies vaccine guide.
The per-dose price covers the vaccine and its administration by our prescriber, along with your travel health assessment and advice tailored to your trip. You are given a record of your vaccinations so you have proof for future boosters or other clinics. There are no hidden booking fees, and you only pay for the doses you actually have.
The full pre-exposure course is three doses, so the usual total is £255. How soon you are travelling can affect the plan your prescriber recommends, and if you already have some rabies protection from a previous course you may only need a booster rather than the full course. We confirm exactly what you need at your consultation before anything is given, so there are no surprises. You can read more about the schedule and number of doses.
For trips to higher-risk destinations, being vaccinated beforehand means you would need less treatment after any bite or scratch, and you would not need rabies immunoglobulin, which is scarce and can be very expensive or hard to find abroad. Many travellers feel the peace of mind is worth it, particularly for longer or rural trips. If you are having other travel vaccines or malaria tablets, we can sort those at the same appointment so you make one visit.
No. Your travel health assessment and advice are included in the per-dose price. You only pay for the vaccine doses you have.
You pay for each dose as you have it, at £85 a dose. Most people complete the three-dose course, so the full cost is £255.
Rabies is a multi-dose course rather than a single jab, so the total reflects the three doses needed for full pre-exposure protection. Each individual dose is £85.
Yes. We can give rabies alongside your other travel vaccinations and go through malaria tablets at the same appointment, so you only need to make one trip to us.
Prices are correct at the time of writing and confirmed at your consultation. This information is general education, not medical advice. Rabies vaccines are prescription-only and given after a consultation where clinically appropriate.
