When to vaccinate?

Vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis is suitable at any time of the year, but it is best to start the vaccination schedule before the tick season, which begins in the spring and peaks during the summer. The standard vaccination schedule includes three doses. The first two doses are usually administered 1 to 3 months apart (in the summer months, the second recommended dose is already after 14 days), the third dose is 12 months after the second administration and 12 months after the second administration. After this basic series, revaccination is required every 3 to 5 years to maintain long-term protection.
