Great news. My 7yo son just got a tick bite while on holiday in Finland, with the tell tale bullseye ring around it appearing in a few days around the itchy bite area. We never saw the tick, would have missed it if not for the skin symptoms.
Fortunately early course of antibiotics has an extremely good success rate against the bacteria - but if it’s undetected it’s much less effective when you get more serious symptoms months later.
Ticks spreading borreliosis are a very common in Northern Europe, you can protect yourself with clothing and thorough check every time you’ve been in long grass or forested areas - but some bites still go unnoticed, this vaccine is fantastic news
i got the same thing, but without the ring. When I got antibiotics it had already started affecting my nervous system.
I had to eat antibiotics for 3 months.
Despite having Lyme disease I am not protected. If a vaccine comes In will take it without hesitation.
