A systematic literature review of the effectiveness of tick-borne encephalitis vaccines in Europe

CONCLUSIONS: Published VE studies demonstrate a high real-world effectiveness of the commercially available TBE vaccines in Europe. Although cases averted have been estimated in only four countries, TBE vaccination prevents thousands of cases in Europe each year. To prevent life-threatening TBE, TBE vaccine uptake and compliance with the vaccination schedule should be increased in residents of, and travelers to, TBE-endemic countries in Europe.PMID:37858450 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.10.014
