More than two decades after a previous vaccine for Lyme disease was pulled off the market, new candidates are on the horizon. MORE ⬇️
COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna has recently announced two new vaccine candidates that could prevent Lyme disease.
"With approximately 120,000 Lyme disease cases reported per year in the U.S. and Europe, there is a significant quality of life burden created by this pathogen," Moderna said in a statement. "With rising atmospheric temperatures, Lyme territory continues to increase in the U.S." Pfizer is also in late-stage clinical trials for its own vaccine candidate and intends to apply for FDA approval as early as 2025.Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is typically transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick. The infection can cause a wide range of symptoms, including a rash that looks like a bull's eye, fever, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and in some cases, neurological symptoms.
