The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) recommends people take precautions against ticks and the diseases they carry.

“The highest risk of tickborne disease transmission occurs between late spring and early fall,” said Amanda Bakken, an epidemiologist with the NDDoH. “The key to preventing tickborne diseases, such as Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, is to avoid tick bites and find and remove ticks promptly.”

The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) would like to remind parents to make sure their children are up-to-date on immunizations for school entry next fall.

North Dakota state law requires students in grades kindergarten through 12 to meet a minimum number of required immunizations before entering school. The NDDoH is encouraging parents to get their children vaccinated now, rather than waiting until right before school starts or before COVID-19 vaccine becomes available for children and adolescents.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister today announced the Essential Worker Cross-Border Vaccination Initiative, where North Dakota will administer COVID-19 vaccinations to Manitoba-based truck drivers transporting goods to and from the United States. This is the first such program between a Canadian and American jurisdiction.
