Once you've had it, you will always test positive for Lyme, essentially making current diagnostic tools useless should you actually contract the disease despite being vaccinated.

My mother had Lyme a few summers ago, and I've pulled deer ticks off my sons, and all just from being in our back yard. You'd better believe that I'd like to see a safe and effective vaccine become available.
