Abstract
The necessity for preexposure rabies prophylaxis depends on each individual’s risk of being exposed to the rabies virus. According to CDC, “typical” short-stay international travelers and the U.S. population at large are not at high risk for rabies and therefore fall into the infrequent or rare risk categories, respectively. These groups of individuals would only require preexposure rabies vaccination if they were traveling to areas where rabies is enzootic, where immediate access to appropriate medical care is lacking, and/or if they were engaging in activities that would increase their risk for rabies (e.g., spelunking).
