exception of follow-up studies)
Subjects will not be eligible for booster vaccination if they:
- Do not meet the inclusion / exclusion criteria
- Are not clinically healthy, (i.e. the physician would have reservations vaccinating
with a TBE vaccine outside the scope of a clinical trial)
- Suffer from a disease (e.g. autoimmune disease) or are undergoing a form of treatment
(e.g. systemic corticosteroids) that can be expected to influence immunological
functions
- Have shown an allergic reaction to one of the components of the vaccine since their
third vaccination in Baxter study 209
- Have donated blood or plasma within 30 days of the booster vaccination if female of
childbearing potential - are pregnant or breastfeeding before the booster vaccination
(positive pregnancy test result at the medical examination before the booster
vaccination)
- Are simultaneously participating in another clinical trial including administration of
an investigational product within six weeks prior to the booster vaccination until the
end of the study
Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, but have a febrile illness (body
temperature >=38.0°C, measured orally) at the scheduled time of vaccination will not be
vaccinated until their body temperature returns to normal.
Subjects who received any vaccination within 4 weeks prior to the booster vaccination will
not be vaccinated until an interval of four weeks has passed.
If subjects received antipyretics within 4 hours prior to the intended TBE vaccination, the
vaccination should be performed at a later time.
Females of childbearing potential will only be vaccinated if they agree to employ adequate
birth control measures from 4 weeks before the booster vaccination until the end of the
study.
