As will all vaccinations, 100% immunity from being vaccinated – cannot be guaranteed and so you need to reduce your risk as well as vaccination by:

• Avoiding tick bites
• Check your clothing and wear light colours so ticks are easier to spot
• Avoid walking or brushing your legs against plants that could have ticks on them
• Use insect repellent
• Wear long trousers and long-sleeved tops
• Remove a tick that has bitten you as soon as possible with tweezers
• Clean the area where the tick was as soon as possible
• The safest way to avoid getting tick-borne encephalitis is to vaccinate.
