Pfizer and Valneva reported positive results from their LB6V Lyme disease vaccine trial, showing efficacy rates of 73.2% to 74.8% after immunization. Lyme disease is prevalent in North America and Europe, with about 476,000 and 130,000 cases annually, respectively. The… Read More »Lyme disease vaccine shows excellent clinical trial results
On March 23, 2026, Pfizer and Valneva announced their Lyme disease vaccine candidate demonstrated 70% efficacy in phase 3 clinical trials. The vaccine could gain regulatory approval, becoming the only Lyme disease vaccine available. Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia bacteria… Read More »Lyme disease vaccine 70% efficacy in phase 3 clinical trials
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claim Lyme disease originated from a military lab on Plum Island. However, scientific evidence shows that the bacteria causing Lyme disease existed for thousands of years before this lab… Read More »Lyme disease did not come from a secret military laboratory
The new Lyme disease vaccine, VLA15, from Valneva and Pfizer, is progressing through clinical trials. Phase 2 results showed strong immunogenicity and safety. The phase 3 trial involves 18,000 participants in endemic areas of the USA and Europe. This vaccine… Read More »Lyme vaccine phase 2 clinical trials results — safe and effective
Chronic Lyme disease is an unrecognized medical diagnosis that lacks any strong scientific evidence supporting its existence.
Pfizer and Valneva have partnered to develop a new Lyme disease vaccine that is entering the final phase 3 clinical trials.
New phase 2 pediatric clinical trial from the Pfizer-Valneva Lyme disease vaccine has shown positive results.
There is a new vaccine that is under investigation that could help us stop Lyme disease, and it’s beginning phase 3 clinical trials soon. That means we could have this vaccine widely available in just a few years.
Of course, dogs have had access to a Lyme disease vaccine, but there has not been a vaccine available for humans for over 20 years. It’s not that dogs are more important than humans (though many of us might argue that point), it’s just that about 20 years the anti-vaxxers got the vaccine pulled from the market, one of their few “successes” in getting rid of useful vaccines.
But a small company, Valneva, is getting a safe and effective vaccine moving down the development pathway. Hopefully, we’ll have it in just a few more years.
Let’s take a look at this disease.

Time to talk about something different (you know, all coronavirus, all the time) like a potential Lyme disease vaccine. A new vaccine for this terrible disease has just completed phase 2 clinical trials, and the results look promising.
As opposed to the mad rush to get a COVID-19 vaccine, this new Lyme disease vaccine has taken several years just to get to this point. But the news is good, so there’s that.
Of course, dogs have had access to a Lyme disease vaccine, but there has not been a vaccine available for humans for 18 years.

But a small company, Valneva, is getting a good vaccine moving down the development pathway. Hopefully, we’ll have it in a few years.

Even though dogs have access to a Lyme disease vaccine, there has not been a vaccine available for humans for 18 years. But that’s about to change, considering how much the tick responsible for the disease has spread.
Just to be clear, vaccine manufacturers do not value dogs more than humans for a Lyme disease vaccine. In reality, the blame for why there isn’t a Lyme disease vaccine can be placed right where some of you expect it to be – loud-mouthed, misinformed anti-vaccine zealots who lacked any scientific evidence supporting their claims.
Of course, the issues with the original Lyme disease vaccine happened in the mid-1990s, and the internet was in its infancy (hello AltaVista). But there were people pushing the same narrative that we hear about the cancer-preventing HPV vaccine – they claimed, without any scientific evidence, that the Lyme disease vaccine was actually worse than the disease itself.
That certainly sounds familiar!
But a new Lyme disease vaccine might be on its way fairly soon. That means adults and children can run in the grass, go hiking, and generally enjoy the outdoors without worrying about this debilitating disease.
