Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. It is transmitted by the bite of infected ticks, and in some cases, through unpasteurised dairy products. The disease is found in parts of Europe, Russia, and East Asia, particularly in forests and rural areas.
If you’re travelling to these regions — especially for hiking, camping, or outdoor activities — the tick-borne encephalitis vaccine is a smart and effective way to protect yourself.
At Park View Pharmacy, we offer fast, convenient access to the tick-borne encephalitis vaccine in Huddersfield, as part of our private travel clinic. No GP referral is required — simply walk in or book online.
✔ Recommended for travel to TBE-risk countries
✔ Suitable for adults and children over 1 year old
✔ Two or three-dose schedule depending on timing
✔ Ideal for outdoor travellers, campers & long-term stays
✔ Travel vaccination certificate provided (if needed)
What Is Tick-Borne Encephalitis?
Tick-borne encephalitis is caused by a virus transmitted through tick bites or, less commonly, through unpasteurised milk from infected animals. It affects the central nervous system and can lead to:
- Meningitis (inflammation of the brain lining)
- Encephalitis (brain inflammation)
- Paralysis or long-term neurological complications
There is no specific treatment for TBE, so prevention through vaccination and tick bite avoidance is essential.
Who Should Get the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine?
You should consider the TBE vaccine if you:
- Are travelling to rural or forested parts of Central, Eastern or Northern Europe, Russia, or parts of Asia
- Plan outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or cycling
- Are staying for an extended period in high-risk areas
- Will be working in agriculture, forestry, or field research
- Are travelling during spring to early autumn, when ticks are most active
If you’re unsure of your risk, our pharmacist will advise during your pre-travel consultation.
