Who may need this vaccine?

Tick-borne encephalitis vaccination may be considered for travellers spending time in forested or rural areas of parts of Europe and Asia where ticks are a risk.

How the course works

Protection is usually given as a short course of doses. The pharmacy team will explain the schedule and how far ahead of travel you should start.

Your consultation

Bring destination details and planned activities. We will check suitability and discuss bite-avoidance advice alongside vaccination.

Good to know

Vaccination helps reduce risk but does not replace sensible clothing, insect repellent and checking for ticks after outdoor activity.

Plan ahead

Start early if rural or forest travel is planned.

City breaks may not need TBE — outdoor itineraries often do. Bring destinations and dates so we can advise clearly.
