There are several Lyme vaccines available. The earliest type was whole bacterin, later replaced by recombinant subunit vaccines. Unfortunately I don't have the details about who or when, but it would be instructive to look into both types and the reasons for preferring one or the other. (Hint: Whole bacterins are more effective but cause more adverse effects.)
