Why get the TBE vaccine?
The TBE vaccine protects against Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE), a viral infection of the brain and spinal cord that is transmitted through tick bites.
Tick bites can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. In severe cases, long-term neurological damage such as brain inflammation (encephalitis) and persistent fatigue can occur.
About 35% of people with encephalitis develop permanent consequences, such as difficulty concentrating, hearing loss, balance problems, and paralysis.
There is no specific treatment for TBE. Therefore, vaccination is the best protection against the disease and its potentially serious complications.
