Right, but the average person would go on a trip requiring these pills very, very sporadically. Imagine going camping or hiking irregularly throughout the year but needing to take these pills 20+ times? Seems crazy to me when there was an effective vaccine at one point.

Even with a Lyme vaccine I think it'd be worth it to take these if you're gonna be in a tick-heavy area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powassan_virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powassan_virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_spotted_fever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_spotted_fever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tularemia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tularemia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babesiosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babesiosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome

Imagine going camping or hiking irregularly throughout the year but needing to take these pills 20+ times? Couldn't you just take it a few days before you go camping or hiking each time?
