Dogs Can Be Vaccinated Against Lyme Disease. Humans Cant.

[douglas9]

Are you a dog that doesn’t want Lyme disease? Well, you’re in luck! These vaccines will let you run through tall grasses with only a slight risk of catching Lyme.

If you’re a human, on the other hand, obey the experts and check behind your ears and knees, because there’s no vaccine on the market for you. At least, not since 2002.

That’s right: Lyme disease—notoriously difficult to spot and treat and diagnosed in about 300,000 Americans every year—had a vaccine, but it’s not available to the public.

Let’s unpack that.
