Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccination: Essential Protection for European Travel

Understanding the Threat

Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is a serious viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. While the risk of infection can be significantly reduced through professional immunisation, implementing practical preventative measures against tick bites provides additional protection for travellers to affected regions.

Comprehensive Prevention Strategy

Practical Protection Measures

  • Wear long-sleeved tops and full-length trousers (tucked into socks) when in high-risk environments
  • Apply specialist insect repellent containing DEET to all exposed skin surfaces
  • Consider treating clothing with appropriate insecticides for enhanced protection
  • Conduct thorough body checks for ticks regularly, focusing on the hairline, behind ears, elbows, backs of knees, groin and armpit regions

Recognising the Symptoms

Initial symptoms typically manifest one to two weeks following a tick bite and include:

  • Elevated temperature
  • Persistent headache
  • General flu-like symptoms
  • Potential nausea
  • Muscle discomfort
  • Significant lethargy and general malaise

In more serious cases, patients may develop encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), which can lead to paralysis and, in severe instances, may prove fatal.
