Prevention of Tick-born encephalitis (TBE). The rapid immunization schedule recommended in the current SPC for FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml (Day 0, Day 14) has been used in Austria for 20 years. FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml was first administered in clinical trials in the year 2001 and the rapid immunization schedule is recommended for children ranging 1 to 16 years of age. However, limited data on immunogenicity when using the rapid immunization schedule in children exist. MedDRA version: 9.1 Level: LLT Classifica
