Nya rekommendationer för TBE-vaccin i flera dalakommuner

Smittskyddet i Dalarna har uppdaterat sina råd efter Folkhälsomyndighetens nya rekommendationer. Personer i Borlänge, Säter, Avesta, Smedjebacken, Ludvika och Hedemora bör nu vaccinera sig mot TBE.

Folkhälsomyndigheten har kartlagt risken för TBE i landets kommuner. Smittan förekommer i södra Dalarna där fall rapporterats i sex kommuner de senaste åren.

Fredrik Rücker, smittskyddsläkare i Dalarna, säger att Säter och Avesta haft något fler fall än övriga. TBE är ändå relativt ovanligt i regionen.

Inget beslut har tagits om kostnadsfri vaccination. En dos för vuxna kostar 428 kronor i Region Dalarna.
