Can I use a rapid schedule for tick-borne encephalitis vaccine?
- Two doses can be given 2 weeks apart. Of those who receive this schedule 90% achieve immunity 2 weeks after the second dose.
- The third dose should be given 5 to 12 months after the second dose, either on return or, during travel if still overseas.
