Drinking alcohol after tick-borne encephalitis vaccine

Owen Buss  Follow

No, you can't get encephalitis from the vaccine. According to a company that provides one brand of the vaccine:

On the day of application it is recommended to avoid any strains, sauna or excessive alcohol drinking.

One beer doesn't constitute excessive drinking.

The manufacturer of another brand of the vaccine doesn't even mention avoiding alcohol.

I guess, theoretically, excessive drinking could affect the immune response after vaccination and thus the effectiveness of the vaccine. But, as said, one beer in 3 days is far from excessive in this regard.More

I guess it’s recommended to avoid excessive alcohol on any day, so that’s a welcomed reason by most GPs. I doubt that drinking a lot would be beneficial or neutral under any circumstances....More
