Although it is often thought that adults are particularly at risk, children can also suffer serious consequences from a tick bite. At Vaccination Point, we believe it is important to draw attention to protecting children from FSME. Through vaccination, you can offer your family the best possible protection against this disease.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is FSME and why does it pose a risk?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>FSME, also known as tick-borne encephalitis virus, is a virus that can cause inflammation in the brain and meninges. It is transmitted by ticks, which are found not only in wooded areas and grasslands, but also in urban parks.<br><br>Children are particularly at risk, as they often play outside and are less aware of the danger of tick bites. FSME can have serious consequences in them, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Long-term neurological complaints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Problems with concentration and learning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased sensitivity to light and sound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While not every tick bite leads to infection, prevention is better than cure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does the FSME Junior vaccination work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The FSME Junior vaccination is specially designed to effectively protect children as young as 1 year old from the encephalitis virus. For long-term protection, the vaccination is given in multiple doses depending on age and desired level of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is vaccination necessary?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protection during the summer months: The peak of tick activity corresponds to holiday periods when children are outdoors more often.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peace of mind for parents: Know that your child is protected even in areas of risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long-term health: Vaccination reduces the risk of long-term complications arising from infection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where and when can you get vaccinated?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At Vaccination Point, you can get an FSME Junior vaccination quickly and easily. Our specialists are ready to answer all your questions and ensure quality care for your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips to avoid tick bites<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides vaccination, there are other ways to avoid tick bites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear long sleeves and trousers during outdoor activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use an insect repellent with DEET.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your child daily for ticks, especially after a day playing outside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The FSME Junior vaccination gives your child a valuable extra layer of protection against tick-borne encephalitis.
