Complete Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) Treatment in Bali
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, commonly known as PEP, is an emergency medical treatment required after a potential rabies exposure. This treatment is exceptionally effective at preventing the virus from taking hold, but only if it is administered promptly after a bite or scratch. Hydro Medical Clinic specializes in providing urgent PEP in Bali for tourists who have had contact with animals like monkeys, dogs, or cats.
The complete PEP protocol involves a series of vaccine doses and, in most cases, Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG). This immunoglobulin is injected into and around the wound site to provide immediate, passive antibodies while your body builds its own defense. Our clinics are fully equipped to administer the complete PEP treatment, including the crucial RIG, 24/7.
If you are bitten by a monkey in Ubud, a stray dog in Canggu, or any other mammal in Bali, do not delay seeking medical advice for PEP. Our 24/7 medical team can assess your wound, provide thorough cleaning, and start the Post-Exposure Prophylaxis protocol immediately. Contacting a medical professional is the most important step you can take to protect your health.

Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
For immediate treatment after a potential rabies exposure or animal bite.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is the emergency medical treatment started after a potential rabies exposure. It is crucial to begin PEP as soon as possible after any bite or scratch from an animal in Bali. Our 24/7 clinics in Canggu, Seminyak, and Kuta are fully stocked to start your treatment immediately.
The PEP protocol involves a series of rabies vaccine injections given on specific days (e.g., Day 0, 3, 7, and 14). For severe bites (Category III), Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) is also administered directly into the wound site for immediate protection. Our licensed doctors follow the latest WHO guidelines for all PEP treatments.
Anyone who has been bitten or scratched by a monkey, dog, cat, or bat in Bali should seek immediate medical assessment for PEP. This includes tourists, expats, and locals, regardless of the animal’s vaccination status. Waiting for symptoms is not an option, as rabies is nearly 100% fatal once symptoms appear.
Animal Bite Wound Care
The critical first step—expert cleaning and assessment of any animal bite or scratch.
Immediate and thorough wound care for an animal bite is the most important first-line defense against rabies. Washing the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes can significantly reduce the risk of infection. Our medical team provides professional wound cleaning services 24/7 to ensure all contaminants are removed.
Our wound care service involves more than just cleaning; our doctors will assess the depth and severity of the bite. This assessment determines the need for Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) and potential tetanus shots. Proper care at this stage is essential for the effectiveness of the entire PEP schedule.
Monkey bites, common in areas like Ubud, and stray dog bites in Canggu or Seminyak, require immediate professional attention. These wounds can be deep and carry a high risk of infection beyond just rabies. Trust our medical experts to provide comprehensive wound care to ensure your safety and recovery.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
For travelers or expats who want preventative protection before any potential exposure.
Rabies Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a series of vaccinations for people at high risk of exposure. This is the ideal choice for long-term expats, frequent travelers to Bali, or those working closely with animals. PrEP simplifies the post-bite treatment and provides a crucial layer of protection.
The PrEP schedule typically involves two doses of the vaccine on Day 0 and Day 7. The main benefit is that if you are bitten after being vaccinated, you only need two booster shots and do not require the Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG). This makes post-bite treatment faster, more comfortable, and less expensive.
We highly recommend PrEP for anyone planning an extended stay in Bali or for those who will be trekking, visiting rural areas, or interacting with wildlife. It provides invaluable peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your time in Bali safely. Contact our clinic to schedule your PrEP vaccination appointment.
Rabies Risk Consultation
Unsure about your risk or what to do? Talk to our English-speaking doctors 24/7.
Many tourists and expats are unsure about the risk from a minor scratch, a lick on broken skin, or contact with an animal. Our Rabies Risk Consultation service is designed to give you immediate, clear answers. Don’t spend your time in Bali worrying; get expert medical advice from our English-speaking doctors.
During a consultation, our doctor will listen to the details of your potential exposure. They will assess the risk based on the animal, the type of contact, and your vaccination history. This consultation will provide a clear recommendation on whether you need PEP, PrEP, or just simple wound care.
Our medical team is available 24/7 for consultations, either in-clinic or via our Home Visit service. We understand that these situations are stressful, and our goal is to provide fast, reassuring, and professional advice. Contact us anytime if you have any doubts about a potential rabies exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Rabies Vaccine and Post-Exposure Treatment in Bali
How common is rabies in Bali? / What are the chances of getting it?
Rabies is considered endemic in Bali, meaning the virus is established in the animal population, particularly in stray dogs. While your personal chance of being bitten is low if you are cautious, the risk is not zero. The local government and organizations work hard on animal vaccination programs, but the risk remains significant. This is why all animal bites must be treated as potential rabies exposures.
Which animals carry rabies in Bali? Do cats, bats, or monkeys have it?
Any mammal can carry and transmit rabies.
Dogs are the primary carriers and source of human rabies in Bali.
Cats (both stray and domestic) can also get and transmit rabies, though it’s less common.
Monkeys (e.g., in Ubud or Uluwatu) are a very low risk for rabies, but their bites are high-risk for other serious infections (like Herpes B virus) and must be treated seriously.
Bats in Bali can carry rabies. Bat rabies is a different strain but still 100% fatal. You must seek medical advice for any contact with a bat, even if a bite isn’t obvious (e.g., waking up with a bat in your room).
Is there an official rabies warning or "red zone" in Bali?
Rabies is a risk across the entire island of Bali, not just in specific “red zones.” You must assume that a risk exists everywhere, including popular tourist areas like Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, dan Ubud. There is no “safe zone” where you can ignore an animal bite.
Do I really need a rabies vaccine (PrEP) before traveling to Bali?
This depends on your travel style. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended by organizations like the CDC for travelers at higher risk. You should strongly consider PrEP if you are planning a long-term stay, traveling with young children, or planning to visit remote areas where access to medical care (specifically RIG) might be delayed.
How long does the rabies vaccine (PrEP) last?
The 2-dose PrEP (Day 0, 7) provides excellent protection, but its duration varies by individual. Some guidelines recommend a booster after 3 years if you are at continuous risk. However, PrEP never provides 100% lifetime immunity; it’s crucial to remember you must still get two booster shots (Day 0 and Day 3) after any potential exposure, even if you’ve had PrEP.
How can I avoid getting rabies in Bali?
The best way to stay safe is prevention:
Do not touch or feed animals: This includes stray dogs, cats, and especially monkeys.
Supervise children closely.
Be aware of your surroundings and avoid animals that look sick or are acting strangely.
Consider PrEP if you are in a high-risk group.
I was bitten/scratched by a monkey, dog, or cat in Bali. What should I do?
Act immediately.
1. WASH: Wash the wound thoroughly and aggressively with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes. This is the most critical first step.
2. ANTISEPTIC: Apply an antiseptic (like povidone-iodine or 70% alcohol) after washing.
3. CALL US: Contact us immediately (24/7) on WhatsApp. You must be assessed by a doctor as soon as possible for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP).
How long do I have to get a rabies shot after being bitten? Is 7 days too late?
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO SEEK HELP. While starting PEP immediately (within hours) is ideal, it is absolutely critical to start the treatment even if several days or weeks have passed. The incubation period for rabies can be very long. Do not assume it’s “too late”; come to our clinic immediately for an assessment.
Do I really need a vaccine for a small scratch?
Yes. The rabies virus is transmitted through saliva. An animal can lick its paws, and a scratch can become contaminated. All potential exposures, including scratches that break the skin or licks on broken skin/mucous membranes, must be medically evaluated.
Is rabies really 100% fatal? Is it preventable?
his is the most important fact: Once clinical symptoms of rabies appear, it is nearly 100% fatal. There is no effective cure. However, rabies is 100% preventable with the proper post-exposure treatment (PEP). If you are bitten, receiving PEP (the vaccine and, if needed, immunoglobulin) before symptoms start is a life-saving intervention.
What is PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)?
PEP is the emergency treatment given after an exposure. For an unvaccinated person, it consists of two parts:
Rabies Vaccine: A series of shots (e.g., 4 doses on Day 0, 3, 7, 14) that teaches your body to fight the virus.
RIG (Rabies Immunoglobulin): An injection of pre-made antibodies given once on Day 0 for immediate protection.
What is RIG (or HRIG)? Why do I need it?
RIG (Rabies Immunoglobulin) or HRIG (Human Rabies Immunoglobulin) is the most critical part of PEP for a new exposure. It is a dose of pre-made antibodies that is injected directly into and around the wound on Day 0. It provides immediate, passive protection to fight the virus at the entry site while your body takes 7-10 days to start creating its own antibodies from the vaccine. RIG is only given if you have not been previously vaccinated.
Is 3 shots of anti-rabies enough?
It depends entirely on your situation:
For PEP (if you are UNVACCINATED): No. You need a full 4 or 5-dose vaccine schedule plus the RIG injection.
For PEP (if you ALREADY HAD PrEP): Yes. Your post-bite treatment is much simpler: you only need two booster shots (on Day 0 and Day 3). You do not need the 3rd/4th shots, and you do not need RIG.
Our doctors will determine the exact, correct schedule for you.
What's the difference between Rabivax and Verorab?
Both Rabivax and Verorab are highly effective, safe, and WHO-approved rabies vaccines. They are just different brand names for the same type of modern, cell-culture-based vaccine (PCECV or PVRV). They are interchangeable, and Hydro Medical Clinic only stocks these modern, internationally-approved vaccines.
How much does the rabies vaccine cost in Bali?
The cost depends on the treatment required (e.g., PEP vs. PrEP, and if Immunoglobulin is needed). Please contact us on WhatsApp for the most up-to-date pricing. We provide clear, transparent pricing upfront before any treatment begins.
Do you accept travel insurance?
Yes, we work with most major international travel insurance providers. We can provide you with all the necessary medical reports, invoices, and documentation you need to file your claim.
