Unlike the rest of Sweden, TBE infections are not increasing in Dalarna. However, some municipalities have elevated risk and vaccination is recommended there.
The tick-borne virus TBE can cause severe disease. The increasingly warmer climate is making ticks move further north, which means TBE is increasing across the country as a whole.
But not in Dalarna, according to deputy infection control physician Helena Ernlund. She recommends vaccination in municipalities with elevated risk.
