With the onset of spring warmth and until late autumn, when people rush to the forests for flowers, berries, mushrooms and just to relax in nature, the epidemiological situation of tick-borne infections – tick-borne encephalitis, borreliosis, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, the pathogens of which are transmitted during blood sucking of ixodic ticks, is complicated. One of the most dangerous diseases is tick–borne viral encephalitis (VE), a viral infection characterized by damage to the central and peripheral nervous system. The disease may not manifest itself for 25 days. The average incubation period lasts from one to two weeks. The tick’s body is a favorable environment for the reproduction of the virus.
 On May 27, 2024, a conversation on the topic “Tick-borne encephalitis and effective preventive measures” was held with interns of the 7th year of the GP together with assistants of the Department of GP Akhmetova S.S., Yensibaeva Sh.D. and Zhunusova M.K. The issues of preventive measures against ticks getting on the surface of the human body, detection and possible self-removal were discussed. Of course, the best measure of prevention against tick-borne encephalitis is vaccination. You can be vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis all year round, but you need to plan vaccination in such a way that at least 2 weeks have passed since the second vaccination, since persistent immunity to tick-borne encephalitis appears two weeks after the second dose is administered. Revaccination is carried out every 3 years after the third vaccination.
