I just went in for my third dose against Tick-Based Encephalitis, and the lovely person administering the shot told me that they are expecting to be able to provide immunization against Lyme disease either in 2027 or 2028!
Apparently Pfizer has a vaccine currently being trialed in phase 3. And they expect it will go well, which means a vaccine might actually become available soon!

One of my friends in high school got Lyme disease and wasn't able to attend classes for 3-6 months because he was too exhausted. Being able to vaccinate against that is a really big deal imo.

@yosh@toot.yosh.is Cool news. I live in tick central and always wondered why my dog can get vaccinated but I can't.
