Vaccinations against rabies and tetanus

The OOM Living Abroad Insurance is a medical insurance for a longer or permanent stay abroad.

What does the insurance reimburse?

You will receive reimbursement for rabies and tetanus vaccinations if:

  • you have been bitten, scratched or licked by an animal that may be infected with rabies
  • you risk tetanus infection following a wound and preventative vaccinations do not offer sufficient protection
Are there costs for you?

With the OOM Living Abroad Insurance you can opt for no excess or an excess of €250, €500 or €1,000. If you have opted for an excess and you incur costs which are covered by the insurance, you then pay the first part of these costs yourself.

An example

You are bitten by a dog that may have rabies. You receive a rabies vaccination. The costs are €25. If you have no excess, you will receive a reimbursement for the total costs.
