Dr. Gregory Poland, director the Mayo Clinic Vaccine Research Group, says there was a vaccine for humans, but it was withdrawn. It’s the bite of an infected blacklegged tick or deer tick that’s responsible for making so many people sick with Lyme disease. There are no plans at this time for a new Lyme vaccine in the U.S., but there is good news. A vaccine, VLA15, is being developed in Europe.
