Uudet TBE-rokotussuositukset useille Taalainmaan kunnille

Taalainmaan tartuntatautiyksikkö on päivittänyt ohjeistustaan Ruotsin kansanterveysviraston uusien suositusten myötä. Borlängen, Sätrin, Avestan, Smedjebackenin, Ludvikan ja Hedemoran asukkaiden tulisi nyt ottaa TBE-rokote.

Ruotsin kansanterveysvirasto on kartoittanut TBE-riskiä eri kunnissa. Tautia esiintyy Etelä-Taalainmaalla, jossa kuudessa kunnassa on raportoitu tapauksia viime vuosina.

Taalainmaan tartuntatautilääkäri Fredrik Rücker kertoo, että Sätrissä ja Avestassa on ollut hieman enemmän tapauksia kuin muissa kunnissa. TBE on alueella edelleen suhteellisen harvinainen.

Päätöstä ilmaisista rokotuksista ei ole tehty. Yksi aikuisten annos maksaa 428 kruunua Taalainmaan alueella.
