TBE remains a major issue in Örebro County where at least ten people have been affected this year. Despite offering the cheapest vaccine in all of Sweden, far from everyone gets vaccinated.

TBE, or tick-borne encephalitis, poses a significant health problem in Örebro County. Just this year at least ten people have been affected by the disease.
