Why Your Dog Can Get Vaccinated Against Lyme Disease And You Can’t
There are actually clinical trials underway for a new Lyme vaccine: <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/260471.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/260471.php</a><p>The core problem with the original vaccine is that 80% effectiveness is terrible-- that's not sufficient, you still need to take all normal precautions.  The second problem is that many people at high risk for Lyme may already have it, or have other tick-borne diseases that are difficult to diagnose and can be chronic-- that probably explains the "side effects" problem.<p>Lyme is at the center of a number of nasty bacteria and parasites that you can get from a deer tick.  The most effective thing we can do is reduce deer populations.
