Obese people have an altered immune responsiveness. The present study investigates whether this influences immune responses to booster vaccinations (i. e. booster vaccination with TBE vaccine "FSME Immun") and if a modification of vaccination schedules is needed. Obese adults (BMI \>30) \>18 - 60 years are compared with adults with normal weight (BMI \<25) concerning TBE-NT- antibody titers, TBE- NT antibody titer course and cellular immunity. Metabolic parameters and sexual hormones will be tested and compared as well.
