Hi there, can anyone enlighten me that has been on the Peru/Amazon add on if a vaccination for rabies was required.
Many Thanks.
Anita.
I went to Peru last October, fully expecting an extensive selection of vaccinations to be administered. I was, therefore, pleasantly surprised to be advised that the only one I needed was for Yellow Fever (which cost £65). Malaria prevention was not necessary for this southern area of Peru, nor even the Amazon tributary add-on though still in the same latitude, beyond the essential protection offered by careful coverage of anti-mosquito sprays available over the counter.
As for rabies for which you express such concern, I never heard it mentioned during the whole approach to my trip.
Of course, you must not rely on the advice of a fellow traveller but this is just to reassure you on that specific enquiry.
As for the destination, it proved to be beyond my expectations. A wonderful trip, coming a close second to my personal all-time favourite three years before: China! Have a fabulous holiday, Anita, in a truly exotic country.
