Summary

This study assessed long-term antibody levels after tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccination. Most vaccinated individuals maintained protective antibodies 2.5 years post-vaccination, with no TBE cases reported.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Virology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a significant viral infection transmitted by ticks.
  • Vaccination is crucial for preventing TBE, with FSME-Immun being a common vaccine.
  • Understanding long-term immunogenicity is vital for assessing vaccine effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the persistence of IgG antibodies against TBE virus post-vaccination.
  • To assess seroconversion rates 2.5 years after the initial FSME-Immun vaccination cycle.
  • To analyze antibody levels across different age groups and determine TBE incidence in vaccinated individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Serological testing for TBE virus-specific IgG antibodies.
  • Analysis of antibody levels before and 2.5 years after vaccination.

  • Comparison of antibody levels across age demographics.

    • Main Results:

    • 91.9% of individuals maintained specific seroconversion 2.5 years after vaccination.
    • No statistically significant differences in antibody levels were observed between age groups.
    • No cases of TBE were reported in any of the vaccinated subjects during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • FSME-Immun vaccination provides sustained seroconversion for at least 2.5 years.
    • The vaccine appears effective in preventing TBE in vaccinated individuals.
    • Long-term antibody maintenance is consistent across different age demographics.
