Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a tick bite-spreading infection often spread in parts of Europe, Asia, and some of the UK. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) risks<\/span><\/h2>\n

The risks of developing TBE are very low. Ticks that spread TBE live in grassy and forest areas, so hikers and campers are more likely to get TBE. But not all tick bites can lead to TBE; if you are bitten, the risk of getting severely ill is shallow.<\/span><\/p>\n

TBE vaccination<\/span><\/h2>\n

Consider the TBE vaccine if you are visiting a country where the infection is more common and if you are planning more outdoor activities. Two vaccine injections can protect you for a year, and the third can cover you for over three years. Get your first injection at least one month prior to travelling.<\/span><\/p>\n
