Moving to Canada for 5 months!

[Cdashey8]

Does any one happen to know if I need a Rabies jab? I have heard that I may need to get one before I depart but I have no idea.
Please respond if you know. Thank you

Canada would be one of the last places I would get a rabies jab for. Unless you are going to be working with wild animals that is.

NaTHNaC is the official body (funded by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office) which provides medical advice to travellers. The information page for Canada is here:

You'll see that no inoculation is initially required but urgent treatment should be sought if you incur any wound from an animal.

yes a Rabies shot is essential for any loon entering the Royal Dominion of Canada. Your posing of tghe question adequately demonstrates the need for four eight-inch needles to be inserted into your stomach.

I shall have no problem as a Graduate of McGill University to contact the Canadian High Commission in Grosvernor Square for the recommendation of a course of injections for you.

Good luck and enjoy.

Do you expect to be working or coming in contact with animals?
What part of Canada are you visiting?

DT what do you mean with regards to the 4 needles in the stomach?

[Cdashey8]

I am going to Toronto.
Like I said, I have no idea if I actually need one, just information I heard.
I appreciate the responses!

[DTCwordfan]

Oh yes - Rabies is not pleasant......

[DTCwordfan]

bit like the amniocetosis needle - and done on a scanner too - I cringed when the x had that for our number 2

Cdashey8 You don`t need a rabies jab! I go to Toronto with work and like most urban areas, you don`t need one. To my knowledge you don`t need any jabs for Canada.

[Cdashey8]

Sounds great, thank you for the all help!

Well on my trip to Canada I found the locals quite friendly they never bit me ''once'', unless your going bear or game hunting I realy wouldn't bother.

There are quite a few ardently rabid anti-royalists lurking in Quebec; therefore, stay away from there.

My daughter and son-in-law emigrated to Canada - They didn't had one.

Or *Have one*.
