[A contribution to recommendations on vaccination against rabies in the Czech Republic].
The article deals with the problems of rabies in the Czech Republic after declaration of the "rabies free" status and with vaccination after attack by an unknown animal. In 2004, the Czech Republic was declared a rabies free country by the International Institute for Animal Infection seated in Paris (OIE). This status enables not to vaccinate if man is attacked by an unknown animal within a distance more than 50 km from the border on the country with rabies incidence.
