Thank you Mildred - was with Alison in S America so well pleased. Maggie

I've just been to travel nurse and am not sure if I am going to need Rabies jabs or not. Apparently it may depend on how far from help we'll be if bitten by an animal on the trip.

Is there a policy in place for such eventualities eg do tour guides have easy access to medical assistance within 24 hrs?

Thank you for any suggestions or knowledge anyone can offer

I had a rabies jab before going to Costa Rica - in the somewhat unlikely event I might get bitten by a monkey!  I really do not think it is needed, certainly not for the Borneo tour (I did it last year) as you will not be getting that close to the wildlife (you'll probably be wishing you were in fact a bit closer to them!).  In any case, the rabies jab allows you 72 hours to get to a medical centre and you could certainly do this with ease on the Borneo tour, not that I'm sure you'd need it!

This is a great tour - especially the three days at the lodges.  I hope you are doing Singapore as well, it was the icing on the cake!

All the best,

Bob

Hi Sue,

I have done this trip, and we definitely did not need Rabies. You are never that far away from medical assistance, even in the lodges. I have only ever had one Rabies jab and I have travelled all over the world.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
