WHY VACCINATE
The Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine
A vaccine course for anyone spending time outdoors in forested, tick-active regions
Standard or Accelerated Schedule Available
Protection for Forest & Rural Travel
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a serious viral infection of the brain and central nervous system, spread through the bite of infected Ixodes ticks in forested and rural areas across Europe, Russia and parts of Asia. There's no specific antiviral treatment, so prevention matters. The standard course is 3 doses over 9 to 12 months, giving around 3 years' protection. An accelerated 2-dose course is also available if you're travelling sooner, with the third dose given later.

The standard course is 3 doses over 9 to 12 months. The accelerated course gives 2 doses before you travel (day 0 and day 14), with a third dose later at 5 to 12 months — useful if you don't have as much time before your trip.
Book at least 6 weeks before you travel, especially if you need the accelerated schedule, so you have time to complete both pre-travel doses.
