FSME Immun

Tick vaccine (TBE)

Tick-borne encephalitis, TBE, is a serious disease transmitted to humans via ticks. There is no treatment for TBE. It is therefore important to get vaccinated against TBE if you stay in areas where TBE infection occurs.

TBE virus is found, among other things, in small rodents. They do not get sick themselves, but can transmit the virus to ticks, which, via their saliva, pass it on to the next animal or human that the tick bites. Birds and larger mammals can transport infected ticks over long distances.

Age limit

TBE vaccine is given to children from the age of 1.

Vaccination – Interval

The basic vaccination against TBE consists of three doses. Usually you get two doses 1–3 months apart. The third dose can be taken no earlier than 5 months and no later than 12 months after dose 2. The third dose should be given within the same tick season, or at least before the next tick season begins.

To maintain your protection, you need to take a fourth dose three years after the third dose and then a dose every five years. Alternative vaccination schedule may be relevant if you are older or have a weakened immune system.

Triaxis

Basic protection

Basic protection protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis). This vaccine is included as part of the childhood vaccination program and must be topped up at 20-year intervals.

Diphtheria mainly affects the airways, which swell up and can lead to a lack of oxygen, but can also lead to nerve and heart problems.

Tetanus (tetanus) is now uncommon in Sweden due to mass vaccination. The disease causes muscle stiffness and severe muscle spasms that can be painful and life-threatening.

Whooping cough causes severe coughing attacks that can also be life-threatening due to lack of oxygen. Symptoms of whooping cough can also appear in the form of tracheal catarrh, pneumonia and convulsions.

Vaccination – Interval

After one dose, expect around 30 years of protection against tetanus, 20 years of protection against diphtheria and around 10 years of protection against whooping cough.

Wax grip

Influenza vaccine

Influenza is caused by a virus and is highly contagious. The virus spreads through the air and above all if someone who is sick coughs or sneezes. You can protect yourself against the flu by getting vaccinated.

You are recommended a vaccine if any of the following are true:

You are 65 years or older.
You are pregnant after week 12.
You have a heart condition.
You have a lung disease, such as COPD or severe asthma.
You have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

You have chronic liver failure or kidney failure.
You are very overweight.

Prevenar & Pneumovax

Pneumonia

Pneumonia can affect anyone and cause serious complications. The disease primarily affects older people, the sick or people with a weakened immune system. Fortunately, there are vaccines against pneumonia.

There are two different types of pneumonia vaccines: Prevenar and Pneumovax. Pneumovax is subsidized by the county council if you belong to a risk group and is therefore free, while Prevenar has to be paid for yourself. Prevenar is considered a better vaccine that protects better.

You are recommended a vaccine if any of the following are true:

You are 65 years or older.
You have a severely weakened immune system or lack a spleen.
You have cystic fibrosis.
You have a cochlear implant operated on.

Vaccines are also recommended for certain other diseases and conditions, but then an assessment of your need for vaccines may first be necessary. This is because the risk of getting a serious infection is also affected by other things. You may need a vaccine if, for example, one of the following is true:

You have a chronic disease of the heart, lungs or liver
You have chronic kidney failure.
You have a disease that makes the lungs work worse or that it is difficult to cough, for example a chronic neurological disease.
You have diabetes.
You smoke or have an alcohol addiction.

Vaccination – Interval

Pneumovax – One dose.

Prevenar – Two doses with an interval of at least two months between doses. Healthy people usually do not need a second dose. However, people with an increased risk of serious pneumococcal infection (for example, people who have no spleen or if it is not working properly) may be recommended another dose of the vaccine, usually between 3 and 5 years after the first dose.

Tablets

Malaria

Malaria is a serious disease caused by parasites that are spread by mosquitoes in countries with tropical climates such as Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. The greatest risk of infection is in the evenings and nights when the mosquitoes come out.

There are different types of preventive medicine against malaria. Common, however, is that nothing provides 100% protection, and there is still no travel vaccine available. It is important to keep in mind if you should experience symptoms due to malaria. The disease requires medical attention, where rapid treatment can be life-saving.

Vaccination – Interval

To get a prescription for preventive medicine, you need to book an appointment with one of our doctors. The medicine is sent with an electronic prescription that can be picked up at any pharmacy.
