Incidence of local and systemic reactions to intramuscularly applied TBE vaccine. Frequency of local and systemic reactions as n/group and as percentage for entire group (total), males, and females are indicated. Calculation of p values by general linear model with binomial counts and obesity and gender as factors; comparison by Wald χ²; *p ≤ 0.05.
