I plan to travel to nepal in September. I know that I need hep a and rabies vaccines but I think these are given on multiple doses. So do I have enough time to be fully vaccinated until September?
According to the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC), the recommendations are that travelers to Nepal need to receive the following vaccines as per the indicated dosing schedules specified below:
1- Hepatitis A: one dose of hepatitis A vaccine protects most healthy people aged 1–40 years and should be administered as soon as travel is considered.
2- Hepatitis B: ideally, hepatitis B vaccination should begin ≥6 months before travel so the full vaccine series can be completed before departure. But since some protection is conferred by 1 or 2 doses, the vaccine series should be initiated, if indicated, even if it cannot be completed before departure. There has to be a period of at least one month between the 2 doses of hepatitis B vaccine.
3- Typhoid: this vaccine is recommended for travelers to parts of the world where typhoid is common. The inactivated typhoid vaccine should be taken in a single dose which can provide protection. It should be administered at least 2 weeks before travel to allow the vaccine time to work. One issue is noteworthy: typhoid vaccine is not 100% effective so you have to be careful about what you eat or drink.
4- Rabies: recommended for travelers who may be at risk of getting into contact with animals such as dogs, cats, bats, or other carnivores. Pre-exposure rabies vaccination is given as a a 3-shot series (days 0, 7, and 21 or 28) before travel.
