Tick Borne Illness Prevention Program

 

The Island Boards of Health Tick Borne Illness Prevention Program unifies an Island wide information and education effort to build public awareness and reduce the incidence of tick borne illness on Martha's Vineyard.

Materials on this site are drawn from local sources, data developed through the program, regional partners in information, relevant informational resources and the Centers for Disease Control.
