To coincide with Tick Bite Prevention Week the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has launched its annual tick awareness campaign. The campaign runs throughout the spring and summer months when ticks are most active and more of us spend time outdoors.
The campaign aims to increase awareness of where ticks are found and how to remove them safely and quickly, as some tick bites can result in infections such as Lyme disease.
To support stakeholders to promote tick awareness this year, UKHSA have produced a campaign communications toolkit. It contains background information, key messages of the campaign, key behaviours for the public to follow, social media assets, suggested social media copy and links to useful information.
If you have any questions about the campaign or toolkit, please get in touch with externalaffairs@ukhsa.gov.uk.
