Tick Borne Encephalitis Vaccination Odiham Hook

Tick-Borne Encephalitis or TBE, is a virus that is spread by tick bites. Ticks that carry the virus are found in most parts of Europe, Russia, and parts of China and Japan.

Once infected, TBE causes flu-like symptoms usually about a week after a tick bite. In some people the infection spreads to the brain causing a stiff neck, severe headaches, seizures, changed behaviour, confusion, speech difficulties and paralysis.

The Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) vaccine is an important preventive measure designed to protect individuals against the Tick-Borne Encephalitis.
