Abstract

Single-dose doxycycline after high-risk tick bites can prevent Lyme disease, which disproportionately affects children. We described single-dose doxycycline dispensings in an outpatient cohort in the United States. During 2010-2020, a total of 427 105 patients received ≥1 dispensing(s); most were aged ≥65 years. Lyme disease postexposure prophylaxis may be underprescribed for some groups, including children.
