The disease tick-borne encephalitis is very dangerous for both children and adults. In addition, it is quite common in Russia. This is due to our climatic conditions, which are favorable for the reproduction of the virus. You can meet encephalitis-carrying ticks in any region except the far north, depending on the season. A significant proportion of those bitten and infected are children.

1–2% of patients die, up to 20% get irreversible neurological complications. In endemic areas, routine vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis is required. And if quick protection is needed, emergency vaccination is required. Several such vaccines are registered in Russia. "Entsepur" is one of them. Let's take a closer look at how it works, when and in what cases it is used.

What kind of vaccine is Encepur?

Encepur is a vaccine that creates specific immunity against tick-borne encephalitis. Two types of this vaccination are registered: adult and children. The only difference is the dosage. The adult Encepur was registered in Russia in 1999. Following it in 2004, a children's version appeared on the Russian market.

"Encepur" contains only antigens of the Siberian and Far Eastern subtypes of the encephalitis virus. The vaccine is inactivated. In children's "Encepur" there are 0.75 mcg of antigens, in adults - 1.5 mcg. The lower the dose of administered antigens, the lower the likelihood of adverse reactions.

The Encepur tick-borne encephalitis vaccine does not contain polygeline and human albumin, which are sometimes added to other vaccines as a stabilizer. Therefore, the allergenicity of the vaccine is lower than that of some analogues. In addition, the risk of infection is eliminated dangerous infections(AIDS, hepatitis, etc.). This drug meets all WHO requirements.

The Encepur vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis has been clinically studied and has studies that were conducted in Russia. The effectiveness of the drug against virus variants in the Primorsky Territory was studied. There is confirmation of the high effectiveness of the vaccine against it. It's approaching 100%.

The safety of the vaccine was also studied. For 14 years there has not been a single case of post-vaccination encephalitis caused by Encepur.

The manufacturer of Encepur is the German company Vaccines and Diagnostics GmbH & Co. KG".

This vaccination is indicated:

  • adults and children living in endemic (with high risk infection) in tick-borne encephalitis areas;
  • children and adults temporarily visiting endemic areas.

Instructions and immunization schedules "Encepur"

The Encepur vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis is given according to two vaccination schemes: administration for emergency or planned prophylaxis.

When should you get Encepur vaccinations against tick-borne encephalitis? Routine immunization is carried out using a three-time injection of the vaccine.

  1. The first vaccination is administered in a standard dose. Immunity after it occurs in 50% of vaccinated people after 2 weeks.
  2. The second one is placed after 1–3 months, but the instructions for the drug allow it to be done earlier, after 14 days. Immunity after the second vaccine occurs in 98% of vaccinated people after 2 weeks.
  3. The third vaccination is the last. It is placed 9–12 months after the second. The number of vaccinated people with full immunity is 99%.

Who is this scheme suitable for? It is better to adhere to it for everyone who lives in areas where the disease is endemic, in order to certainly exclude infection. After any stage of vaccination according to this scheme, immunity develops only on day 42.

The validity period of the Encepur vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis is about three years.

When to get vaccinated if you need quick protection? If you are planning to visit a forest in an endemic zone, and the time for routine vaccination has already been missed, then a more rapid increase in the number of protective agents is required. An emergency protection scheme has been developed for this purpose. In this case, vaccinations are also given three times, the only difference is when they are administered.

With this vaccination schedule, after the second administration, immunity is detected in 90% of vaccinated people, and after the third - in 99%. The required amount of antibodies appears on the 21st day from the start of vaccination.
The number of protective bodies remains for up to 18 months.

Revaccination is carried out with a single administration of one dose of the drug, depending on the scheme of the initial course. It also depends on the age of the person. After scheduled vaccination, revaccination is carried out:

  • in persons from 12 to 49 years old after 3 years, then every 5 years;
  • people over 49 years old every 3 years.

After emergency prevention:

  • for persons from 12 to 49 years old - after one, maximum one and a half years, then every 5 years;
  • people over 49 years old - also after one, maximum one and a half years, then every 3 years.

Such schemes are provided for in the instructions for adults "Entsepur".

Vaccination of children

When should a child be vaccinated? The instructions for children's "Entsepur" allow children from 1 year of age to be vaccinated as planned.
The vaccination schedule is as follows:

If vaccination is required for a child under one year of age, this can be done if necessary.

Where is the Encepur tick-borne encephalitis vaccine given? It is injected into a muscle, the deltoid is best suited.

Contraindications and side effects

There are contraindications for the Encepur tick-borne encephalitis vaccination. The vaccine is temporarily contraindicated for those who have colds or other diseases in the acute phase. Vaccination is postponed for a month after recovery.

TO absolute contraindications relate:

  • severe allergic reaction to previous injections;
  • chicken egg allergy;
  • heavy adverse reactions at the first injections.

The Encepur vaccine is not contraindicated for pregnant women. But its effect in this group of patients has not been studied. Therefore, it is better to evaluate all the pros and cons and do it only if it is absolutely necessary.

Due to the absence of certain proteins, the vaccine is well tolerated. What complications can occur after Encepur vaccination?

  1. Local manifestations: redness, infiltration - disappear on their own after some time.
  2. General malaise, sweating, fever - may appear in 1-10% of vaccinated people, disappear within 3 days.
  3. Nausea, less often vomiting. Diarrhea is very rare.
  4. Headache occurs frequently. But numbness of the limbs is very rare.
  5. Allergic reactions from itching and rash to angioedema and anaphylactic shock.
  6. Rarely, there may be pain in the joints, muscles, and swollen lymph nodes.
  7. IN clinical practice In isolated cases, ascending paralysis was reported after the administration of Encepur. Therefore, people with brain damage should be vaccinated very carefully.

"Entsepur" interacts well with others medicinal substances. But they cannot be administered in the same syringe. Can be done on different limbs.

Vaccination is not carried out after the tick has already bitten. If immunoglobulin was administered before, then Encepur is postponed for at least 2 weeks. Antigens in the vaccine can bind immunoglobulins and reduce their concentration in the blood, and therefore reduce effectiveness.

Vaccines analogous to "Encepur"

"Entsepur" has analogues:

  • Russian "Entsevir";
  • culture-purified tick-borne encephalitis vaccine (Russia);
  • Russian "Klesch-E-Vac";
  • Austrian “FSME-Immun Inject” (adult);
  • Austrian "FSME-Immun Junior" (children).

Imported drugs differ from Russian ones in the degree of purification and safety. They have fewer contraindications and side effects.

When to vaccinate against tick-borne encephalitis

"Encepur" has the shortest development time for emergency protection. They are only 21 days. You need to protect yourself from ticks, even if you have been fully immunized with this vaccine. After all, Encepur only protects against its own virus, but there are many other diseases that are transmitted by ticks.

It is best to start vaccination with Encepur in the fall.

Let's summarize. "Encepur" provides protection from dangerous disease tick-borne encephalitis. This imported vaccine forms immunity in almost all vaccinated people after full immunization. There are two vaccination schedules that differ in timing. Routine vaccinations will build immunity on day 42, and emergency immunization will build immunity after 21 days. The rapid formation of protection is indicated for those who did not have time to get vaccinated as planned. "Encepur" forms emergency immunity faster than its analogues. The vaccine is valid for 3 to 5 years. Vaccination is not given if the tick has already bitten. It has few contraindications and is well tolerated. Children's "Entsepur" can be taken from the age of 1 year.

Directions for use and doses

V/m, preferably in the area of ​​the upper third of the shoulder (deltoid muscle). If necessary (for example, patients with hemorrhagic diathesis), the vaccine can be administered PC.

Cannot be administered intravenously.

Incorrect intravenous administration of the vaccine can cause allergic reactions, including shock. In such cases, anti-shock therapy must be carried out immediately.

On the day of vaccination, the doctor (or paramedic) conducts a survey and examination of the vaccinated person with mandatory thermometry, and studies the medical record of the vaccinated person. The doctor is responsible for ensuring that the vaccination is prescribed correctly. The vaccination performed is recorded in the established registration forms, indicating the date of vaccination, dose, name of the vaccine, manufacturer, batch number, expiration date, reaction to the vaccine.

Only a full course of vaccination provides reliable protection.

Immediately before administration, the syringe with the vaccine must be shaken well.

Primary course of vaccination

Primary vaccination is carried out using scheme A (traditional scheme).

Table 1

Vaccination Scheme A
1st vaccination 0,25 0,5 Day 0
2nd vaccination 0,25 0,5 in 1-3 months
3rd vaccination 0,25 0,5 9-12 months after the 2nd vaccination

The second dose may be given 14 days after the first dose.

The traditional scheme is preferable for persons located in endemic areas.

Seroconversion develops no earlier than 14 days after the second vaccination.

After completion of vaccination, protective antibody titers persist for at least 3 years, after which revaccination is recommended.

If rapid (emergency) vaccination is required, schedule B is used.

table 2

Vaccination Dose for children from 1 year to 11 years, ml Dose for adults and children over 12 years old, ml Scheme B
1st vaccination 0,25 0,5 Day 0
2nd vaccination 0,25 0,5 in 7 days
3rd vaccination 0,25 0,5 in 21 days

Seroconversion develops no earlier than 14 days after the second vaccination, i.e. on the 21st day. After completion of vaccination, the protective antibody titer persists for 12-18 months, after which revaccination is recommended.

In those who are immunocompromised and 59 years of age or older, antibody levels should be checked between 30 and 60 days after the 2nd vaccination of schedule A and the 3rd vaccination of schedule B and, if necessary, an additional vaccination should be given.

Revaccination

After a course of primary vaccination, carried out according to one of two schemes, one injection is sufficient to maintain strong immunity. Based on the results of clinical studies, the intervals for revaccination indicated in Table 3, 4 should be used.

For individuals who have received their primary vaccination using the routine vaccination schedule (Schedule A), the following intervals are recommended.

Table 3

For persons vaccinated under the emergency schedule (Schedule B), the following intervals are recommended.
