Rabies Vaccinations and Tests 2026 Bali, 5 Simple Steps!
Rabies is a serious yet preventable viral disease that continues to be a public health concern in many regions, including Bali. Whether you are a resident, a long-term expat, or a visitor, understanding how to protect yourself and your loved ones from rabies is essential. In this comprehensive guide, we break down the process of getting your rabies vaccinations and tests in Bali for 2026 into five simple, actionable steps so you can enjoy your time on the Island of the Gods with peace of mind.
Step 1: Understand Your Rabies Risk in Bali
Why Rabies Prevention in Bali Matters
Dog bites remain the primary source of rabies in humans globally, and Indonesia continues to report cases each year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), timely access to pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is critical for effective rabies prevention. Bali’s unique ecosystem, with its large population of stray dogs and monkeys in popular tourist areas, means that everyone from locals to tourists must take rabies prevention seriously.
At Trishnanda Care Centre, our goal is to make healthcare accessible, safe, and convenient for everyone in Bali. With our 24/7 doctor-on-call service, mobile nurse visits, and free island-wide delivery, getting protected from rabies has never been easier.
Who Should Consider Rabies Vaccination?
Short-Term Visitors:
• Those planning outdoor activities (surfing, hiking, cycling) in rural or forested areas.
• Families with children who may interact with animals.
• Tourists staying near wildlife or temples frequented by monkeys.
Long-Term Residents & Expats:
• Pet owners.
• Volunteers or animal welfare workers.
• Anyone living in areas with known stray animal populations.
Rabies Exposure Scenarios
Rabies transmission occurs through the saliva of infected animals via bites or scratches. Common exposure risks in Bali include:
• Unprovoked dog or monkey bites.
• Handling stray or sick animals.
• Accidental contact during feeding or petting.
If you are unsure about your risk level, consult with our English-speaking doctors via our doctor-on-call service for personalized advice.
Step 2: Choose the Right Rabies Vaccination Plan
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Who needs it?
Recommended for anyone at higher risk due to occupation, long stays, frequent animal contact, or travelers visiting remote areas where medical care may be delayed.
Protocol:
The pre-exposure vaccine involves a series of three injections over 21–28 days. This schedule is based on current WHO recommendations and ensures robust immunity prior to any potential exposure.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
Who needs it?
Anyone who has had a suspected exposure bite, scratch, or saliva contact with broken skin must seek immediate medical attention regardless of prior vaccination status.
Protocol:
PEP typically involves wound cleaning, a series of vaccine doses (with or without rabies immunoglobulin depending on vaccination history), and ongoing monitoring.
