Before exposure
Pre-exposure vaccination may be considered for people at risk. Discuss your travel plans and activities with a healthcare professional.
After exposure
Post-exposure care may include vaccination and, when indicated, immunoglobulin. Even previously vaccinated people need an assessment after a possible exposure.
Your follow-up schedule
The schedule depends on your vaccination history and the clinical protocol used. Bring existing records and follow the dates given by your healthcare provider. Ask them what to do if you miss a dose.
General education, not individual medical advice.
