Your Doctors
IMC Clinics
Western standard professional medicine for children, adults, and the whole family
Our clinics employ family physicians - multidisciplinary specialists with unique training.
Family physicians aren't just an extra step on the way to a specialist. They are your allies who will guide you through all health issues: they diagnose and treat common and widespread diseases, make a checkup plan, advise on disease prevention (including vaccinations), and lifestyle changes.
If necessary, the family physician will refer you to a specialist and can coordinate your care.

It can be combined with other vaccines.
The virus causes inflammation of the brain - encephalitis. The course of infection is unpredictable: ranging from mild symptoms, to partial paralysis, to death in certain circumstances.
As with most viral infections, there is no treatment for viral tick-borne encephalitis, so prevention of this disease is very important.
