I was part of a study by Smith/ Kline at Yale in the early 90's. We were given a series of 3 shots and later told who was given the vaccine and who was given the placebo. I was lucky to have been given the vaccine. No side effects. This vaccine was given/offered to the public but due to cost concerns or lack of reimbursement by Ins. Cos. this has been cancelled. The company gave up offering the vaccine.  Yaay American Health Ins. Industry. We have a dog who at times the last 2 Springs would get a dozen ticks on him at a time when we walked him down the road. They wind up on the furniture and in the bed. It wakes you up when you feel something moving on you. I also worked outside for 30 and 1/2 years. I have had multiple tick bites over the years and have never contracted Lyme disease. My wife who never got the vaccine did get Lyme but was able to get antibiotics to cure it.  I have had a tick embedded in my groin area, my armpit and my lower back.  It is insane that this vaccine was allowed to be cancelled due to monetary reasons when you hear of the permanent injury it does to the population.
