Lymerix, the first vaccine to prevent Lyme disease
February 1999
People will be asking about Lymerix, the first vaccine to prevent Lyme disease.
Lymerix is useful for people who spend a lot of time outdoors in areas where Lyme disease is common...primarily the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. states and the Long Point area of Lake Erie.
The approved regimen is 3 doses at 0, 1, and 12 months. But giving the third dose SOONER...at 2 or 6 months also seems effective.
