Open Forum Infect Dis. 2021 Apr 17;8(8):ofab142. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofab142. eCollection 2021 Aug.

Abstract

We conducted a matched case-control study to assess the effectiveness of Lyme vaccine (LYMErix) as it was used in clinical practice. We found ≥3 doses to be 71% effective against Lyme disease. This is the first study to show that the Lyme vaccine is effective in a real-world setting.
