Human #rabies vaccines exist for pre-exposure immunization, recommended for people in certain high-risk occupations such as lab workers handling live rabies viruses, animal disease control staff and wildlife rangers

Pre-exposure #rabies immunization is also recommended for travellers to rabies-affected, remote areas who plan to spend a lot of time outdoors involved in activities such as caving or mountain-climbing

#Rabies immunization should also be considered for children living in, or visiting, remote, high-risk areas.
As they play with animals, they may receive more severe bites, or may not report bites
