Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination

Japanese encephalitis is a potentially fatal viral infection affecting the brain, transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito. As there is no specific cure for the disease, vaccination is recommended.

Rabies Vaccination

Rabies is a deadly viral infection affecting the nervous system, transmitted through bites. With rapid progression, symptoms include fever, aggression and paralysis, leading to near-certain fatality.

Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccination

Tick-borne encephalitis results in a serious infection of the central nervous system, affecting both the brain and spinal cord, potentially leading to complications such as meningitis. Individuals travelling to countries with a risk of TBE should contemplate getting vaccinated.

Meningitis B is a life threatening infection of the protective membranes that surround the spinal cord (meninges) and the brain. It is most common in babies, young children, teenagers and young adults but can affect anyone.

Hepatitis A Vaccination

Hepatitis A is an extremely contagious virus that can lead to chronic liver disease and in severe cases, death. Hepatitis A is commonly spread through contaminated food and water, making it strongly recommended for many adults planning to travel to specific countries to receive the vaccine.
