Can I be vaccinated?
The three-dose single-dose vaccination protects against tuberculosis, which must then be updated every three to five years. However, there is no vaccination against Lyme disease.
How can you protect yourself?
Pedestrians should wear long clothes and sturdy shoes in forests, fields, and meadows. Socks placed on the legs of the trousers make it difficult for ticks to find the bare skin. Everyone should thoroughly inspect their bodies after a trip abroad.
