Tick-borne encephalitis.

Vaccination is recommended if you intend to spend more than three to four weeks in a region where the disease is prevalent.

Vaccination: You need two injections at an interval of about two weeks, and the vaccination now provides protection for one year. A third vaccination administered one year later extends protection to three years.

Protection: The vaccine does not give 100 per cent protection, so it is no alternative to ordinary protection against tick bites.

Side effects include:

• Redness around injection site
• Hardening of skin around injection site
• Weakness
• Fever
• Head aches
