What vaccines can you get for tick diseases?

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

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).

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

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.
