Tick borne encephalitis vaccine advice
Tick borne encephalitis vaccine provides essential protection for travellers venturing into regions where tick exposure is common. This vaccine can reduce the risk of contracting a serious viral infection when spending time in nature or rural settings. Travellers should consult health advice before their journey.
