Tick Borne Encephalitis Risk in Turku

Moikka fellow cachers in Finland.

Do you have an information if there is a risk for this here in Turku? I was in Helsinki last week and even found some off road caches.

Is it generally safe to do that too here in Turku? Kiitos

Turku is one of the most risky areas. Two cases registered per year. Vaccination is officially recommended if you plan to be outdoors for more than four weeks.
