About the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine

Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection that affects the brain and nervous system. It is transmitted through tick bites, typically in rural and forested areas.

The TBE vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection, giving you peace of mind when travelling.

At Derbyshire Travel Clinic (Mickleover Pharmacy), we provide the vaccine in a safe, professional setting, tailored to your specific travel plans.

How Does the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine Work?

The TBE vaccine contains an inactive version of the virus, stimulating your immune system to produce protective antibodies. Once vaccinated, your body will be equipped to defend itself if exposed to the virus through a tick bite.

• Dosage Schedule: The vaccine is given in three doses over 5 to 12 months.

  • The first two doses are given one to three months apart.

  • The third dose provides long-term immunity and is administered up to a year later.

• Booster Doses: Recommended every 3 to 5 years for long-term travellers or those frequently visiting high-risk areas.

• Quick Protection: A rapid vaccination schedule is available if you need early protection. Speak to our team about your specific travel timeline.
