Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection endemic to many European countries. If you are planning to stay in an area with a high occurrence of infected ticks, a TBE vaccination is the safest way of avoiding the infection. It is particularly relevant if you are planning to spend a lot of time outdoors.
COURSE
The vaccination consists of 3 doses:
- First Dose: 1 month before travel.
- Second Dose: 1 – 3 months after the first.
- Third Dose: 5 – 12 months after the second dose.
Accelerated course: If you are travelling at short notice, you may be able to have the first two doses 14 days apart instead. You need to start this course at least two weeks before travel to be fully protected by the time you go.
Hepatitis B Vaccination
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to both acute and chronic liver disease. Unlike hepatitis A, which is commonly transmitted through contaminated food or water, the hepatitis B virus is primarily spread through contact with infected bodily fluids, including blood, or through contaminated needles.
