Protect Yourself Against Tick-Borne Encephalitis with Vaccination at Manchester Chemist

What is Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE)?

Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection that affects the central nervous system, leading to severe complications such as meningitis and encephalitis. It is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks, primarily found in parts of Europe and Asia. In rare cases, it can also be contracted through consuming unpasteurised dairy products from infected animals.

Why Should You Get the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine?

If you are travelling to areas where TBE is prevalent—such as parts of Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe—vaccination is the best form of protection. The vaccine helps to:

✅ Prevent severe neurological complications
✅ Reduce the risk of long-term effects such as paralysis
✅ Provide long-lasting immunity with a series of doses
✅ Offer protection for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and campers

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

The TBE vaccine is recommended for:

• Travellers visiting rural or forested areas in TBE-affected countries
• Hikers, campers, and outdoor adventurers
• Individuals working in forestry, farming, or research in endemic regions
• Anyone planning extended stays in affected areas

How the Vaccination Works

The Tick-Borne Encephalitis vaccine is given in a series of three doses:
1️⃣ First dose – At your convenience
2️⃣ Second dose – 1 to 3 months after the first dose
3️⃣ Third dose – 5 to 12 months after the second dose (for long-term immunity)

For short-term protection, the first two doses can provide sufficient immunity before travel.
