Vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has been successfully employed for many years in TBE-endemic countries. Post-marketing experience gained from widespread use, however, prompted the development of improved TBE vaccines, the most modern versions of which do not contain the commonly used protein-derived stabilizers (human albumin or polygeline) of former vaccines.
