Your Primary Care Doctor- Going to your local physician would be the most expensive route. You can also go to a “travel clinic,” which often provide rabies vaccine in addition to other travel-related vaccinations. Search for the nearest “travel clinic” with a search engine. Rabies vaccinations from these clinics are not cheap (it never is), but this may be much less expensive than the physician route.
