About Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine

Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection that affects the brain and nervous system. It is transmitted to humans through tick bites, typically in rural or forested areas. The vaccine is highly effective at preventing the disease, offering peace of mind during your travels.

At Black Country Travel Clinic, we offer the vaccine in a safe, professional environment, tailored to your specific travel plans and needs.

How Does the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine Work?

The Tick-Borne Encephalitis vaccine contains an inactive version of the virus, stimulating your immune system to create protective antibodies. Once vaccinated, your body will be equipped to defend itself if exposed to the live virus via a tick bite.

• Dosage Schedule: The TBE vaccine is administered in three doses over a period of 5 to 12 months. The first two doses are usually given one to three months apart, with the third dose providing long-term immunity when administered up to a year later. For long-term travellers, booster doses may be recommended every 3 to 5 years.

• Quick Protection: A rapid schedule can provide early protection if you need it. Speak to us about your specific travel timeline.
