Dear ZigZig and all who responded:
Thank you! This is overwelming and hard to follow all your abreviations and medical terms. I noticed people only use one letter for a doctor's name. Are we not allowed to use the entire name? I would love to find out about our doctor.
ZigZig...I would like to get more info on the vaccine. Do I give you my email in this forum or can I get to you some other way? I will give you mine if it is an OK thing to do.
We have an appt on Thursday and will find more.

If I had had the vaccine and was symptomatic- I'd contact Paul Fawcett - as it seems it's important to use the correct manufacturer (for Western Blot).No one really seems to know for sure what's going on with the antibodies after the vaccine.

Here's the latest paper on WB tests on vaccinated sera.

Long-term effects of immunization with recombinant lipoprotein outer surface protein a on serologic test for lyme disease.

Fawcett PT, Rose CD, Maduskuie V.

Immunology Laboratory, Department of Research, A. I. duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, Delaware 19803, USA. [email protected]

Immunization with recombinant lipoprotein outer surface protein A vaccine is known to interfere with some serologic tests for Lyme disease. We tested sera from 152 vaccine recipients by using in-house and commercial Western blot assays and found that vaccination caused interference in up to 25% of recipients and can persist for over 6 years.
