What is Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE)?
Tick-borne encephalitis is a serious viral infection affecting the brain and nervous system. It is transmitted through bites from infected ticks found mainly in forested and rural areas across parts of Europe and Asia.
While some infections may cause mild flu-like symptoms, severe cases can lead to meningitis, neurological complications and long-term health issues.
Countries where TBE risk exists include:
- Austria
- Germany
- Czech Republic
- Slovakia
- Estonia
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Sweden
- Finland
- Russia
- Parts of China and Asia
The highest risk usually occurs between spring and autumn when ticks are most active.

TBE Vaccine Schedule
The standard TicoVac vaccination course includes:
- First dose before travel
