What vaccines can you get for tick diseases?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

TBE vaccine (TicoVac) is the only one I'm aware of, but I guess the necessity would depend on whether or not ticks in your area are known to carry TBE.

None right now, but a new vaccine for Lyme disease is looking promising.

For sure I've been eyeing that for a while. I've even considered getting the canine version lol

In tick-borne encephalitis has had a vaccine for decades.

It hasn't been available in the US for decades because of side effects, if I recall correctly. A new one is in the pipeline.

Maybe not the same vaccine, but it's being administered in Austria all the time without any notable aide effects I've ever heard of.

A quick Google search seems to indicate that Pfizer's TicoVac is indeed available in the US. I would wager this is the same one that they're using in Austria. At least it's this one they offer in my home country (also European).
