The rabies vaccine can only be obtained prior to travel from outside of Hungary. When visiting the International Vaccination Center, it is advisable to allow time (several weeks) for the purchase to be made.
Some vaccines only provide adequate protection after a series of vaccination, which can take up to a month. It is therefore advisable to refer to the necessary vaccinations as soon as possible after the date of travel is known.
