Who should consider it
People hiking, camping, cycling or working in forests and long grass during the warmer months, roughly spring to autumn. It can also be caught from unpasteurised milk products.
Schedule
The second dose follows one to three months after the first (two weeks in a rapid schedule), and a third dose five to twelve months later extends protection. Daily tick checks and covering your skin help too. Whether you need it depends on your itinerary, activities and health, and we confirm that at your consultation using the latest NaTHNaC guidance.
