Vaccination against tick- borne encephalitis!
20.03.2013


I would like to remind to all of my patients that spring is coming, and with it the start of a new tick season. Unfortunately, becoming ill with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is widespread in Latvia. The easiest and safest way to protect you from becoming infected with this disease is through vaccination.

We offer two types of vaccination: In season vaccination (March – October) The latest studies recommend three separate vaccinations within a tree week period to protect you from becoming infected during the season. The fourth vaccination comes after 12 months. Revaccination is necessary every 3 to 5 years.

Out of season vaccination (November – February) You will need only two vaccinations in one month interval to get good immunity against TBE during the following season. The third vaccine will be given after 9 months to remain immune for the following 3 to 5 years.

The costs of vaccines: For children from LVL 24; For adults from LVL 25. Children can be vaccinated when they are 12 months old.

Please look into your personal vaccination records to see if you have been properly vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis and make sure that you are protected before the spring. Please call (+371 67240202) if you have any questions or if you would like to set up an appointment for you and/or your family members to be vaccinated.

Best regards, Anda Kariņa
