Interesting. The Lymerix vaccine was pulled from the U.S. market in 2002 but I think it is still being used elsewhere. I don't know anything about its popularity nor do I know if it is recommended.
My question would be, if the vaccine doesn't protect against the whole stew of tick bacteria, is there much sense in a Lyme vaccine?

"...Many of the tick born infections are fairly easy to get rid of when lyme is not involved..."
WHAT!? You must be kidding?

At 45:00 minutes in this broadcast, a caller poses a question about immunizing wildlife through feed to decrease transmission to humans.
to which guest, Lonnie King, mentions research I hadn't heard about:
In order to prevent disease, and decrease population of certain wildlife
"cutting-edge" research is being done, particularly to do with lyme where vaccines were unsuccessful in humans.
Private companies (names not cited) and the CDC are conducting research to reproduce protein characteristics that cause the antibody response,
putting it in food like rice, which is spread over a large area, which animals/rodents then eat, creating an immunity in the animals.
He goes on to say that because it is so cheap it could be used over larger areas,
like in Africa with the plague. It could potentially have a huge impact.
If the blood hosts don't carry the disease, the ticks and other insects don't disseminate it to humans.

I am sorry to read your post and I pray it is not true!When I take a breather, I'll review the link you provided. Thanks for the info, I think.

Couldn't resist, and I read the comments on the show - amazing comments indeed. I'll listen to the show this week.

AT LEAST 2000 people filed lawsuits against Smith/Kline because they say the vaccine GAVE THEM lyme!!!! That is why band 31 ( and more??) is NOT tested for at Quest and LabCorp labs.
It is too closely tied to the failed vaccine.
I would NEVER get a vaccine for lyme. No way.

Eliminating disease in animals therefore, eliminating transmission to ticks and---us.
Breaking the cycle....not something to be sorry about in my book. I do realize that some people have a problem with curbing animal populations even though they are out-of-control.
I can't find more info on the research. The guest spoke more of vaccinating the rodent population, creating Immunity in them, I have no problem with that given that.
I had only listened to the show. I'll have to check out the comments.

There are currently 170 thousand doses of Swine Flu
vaccine floating around they say now not to give.
It did not work last time and I don't think this
one will either. Mother nature has a way to stick
out her foot with these 2.
