Let's be real here. Do we really need a vaccine for this? An estimated 200k people get this per year. It is almost never fatal. People can go years without even knowing or being diagnosed with Lyme disease.
I am not anti-vax, but A LOT of people clearly are. Maybe we should spend more time focusing on treatment or symptom reduction for those afflicted than vaccines and prevention for all people over non life threatening diseases.
For those that spend a lot of time outdoors this is a good thing. I know if at least one influencer that almost died due to Lyme desease. She just released av update video on it.

I definitely worry about it but love being out in the woods. Sounds like a good option to me.
