TBE Antibody Persistence and Booster Vaccination Study in Children and Adolescents (Follow-up to Study 209)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the seropersistence of TBE antibodies in children and adolescents aged 1 to 15 years at the time of their first vaccination, 24 months and 34 months after completion of primary immunization with FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml (3 vaccinations during the predecessor study 209), as well as the immune response to a booster vaccination with FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml or FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml administered 36 months after the third vaccination (in Study 209). Protocol amendment of October 2006: The study has been prolonged for children and adolescents who still showed highly positive TBE virus antibody concentrations at approximately 3 years after the third vaccination and therefore did not receive a booster vaccination at this time point. Further follow-up of TBE antibody persistence is now included for these subjects at 46 and 58 months after the third vaccination (in Study 209), as well as a booster vaccination offered at either 48 or 60 months after the third vaccination (in Study 209), depending on individual TBE antibody levels.
