If you are planning on spending some time in
the countryside you always face the risk of being bitten by ticks which can in
worst case cause the so called Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infection.
A vaccination can protect you from this danger.
You can get it either from your doctor or you keep your eyes open for the
Punkkibussi (tick bus) driving around the capital area the whole summer
through. Without an appointment you can just come there and get the vaccination
within a few minutes. It costs 45 € for children and 50 € for adults.
Information on when the bus is in your area and
which regions in Finland are most dangerous to get infected with TBE can be
found from the official website of Saaristolääkärit.
