Tick Borne Encephalitis

Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine - The Pharmacy Bebington

Tick-borne encephalitis is a serious illness for which vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself before travel or outdoor activities in high-risk areas. At The Pharmacy Bebington, our pharmacists provide safe and effective tick-borne encephalitis vaccination in a supportive and professional setting.

What Is Tick-Borne Encephalitis?

Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection spread through tick bites in the UK and other regions of Europe. It affects the brain and nervous system, which is why protection is important for anyone who may be exposed to ticks. Typical encephalitis symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness and, in some cases, serious complications such as swelling of the brain. While not every tick bite leads to illness, being bitten by a tick in the UK or abroad increases your risk.

How Does the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine Help?

The vaccine helps your body build defences against the virus without causing the illness. It is usually given as a course of injections to ensure strong and long-lasting protection.
