Proof of Rabies Prophylaxis Required (Veterinary Team Members Only)

Please note that Public Health Team members are NOT required to obtain rabies vaccination to participate in the Mission Trip.

Please submit your proof of pre-exposure rabies vaccination (within the previous 2 years)  OR Rabies vaccination titer through the application process or contact us form

If you are interested in getting your human rabies vaccination(s) and live in the San Antonio/Seguin/Austin area – please contact us through this form.  Expect them to be offered during March.

If you have NOT had a previous rabies vaccination, you need a series of 2 intra-dermal vaccines.   Cost for EACH intra dermal vaccination may be covered by insurance and/or may be discounted through the Mission.   If you need the series through the TX clinic, schedule the dates and pay for all of your shots at your first visit.  Please note that if you sign up to get the vaccination(s) and later decide not to get them, you are expected to pay for them! (the TX clinic orders and PAYS for the vaccines in advance.)

For those than cannot easily come to Seguin – check with your local Walgreens/ CVS/ physician.  Consult the current CDC recommendations for guidance.

Be sure your vaccine series, titer, or booster is completed at least 4 weeks prior to travel to Honduras.

If you wish to have a titer done, you will have to go to your physician to have the blood drawn and run.  Kansas State provides a rabies titer service.  For information, see http://www.ksvdl.org/rabies-laboratory/rffit-test/faq.html

YOU MUST BE PROTECTED by either having an adequate titer or rabies vaccination to be allowed to work on the veterinary team.
