There was a vaccine developed for Lyme disease in the early 2000's. It was canned because the market wasn't believed to be favorable. Lyme disease is an awful illness that often progresses to chronic and incurable.

Tick populations have exploded recently with our new warmer climates, and now a new vaccine is slated to enter the market in the next few years.

Unfortunately however the vaccine will not protect against lone star tick bites, which can make you allergic to red meat.
