The vaccine they were testing was derailed when participants reported behaviours that resemble anti-vax talking points now. It killed the human testing in the final stages at a huge commercial loss.
But if you go to the vet and get a vax for a big dog and it accidentally gets into your arm and not Rover’s paw, that’s the same thing. They repurposed the ‘failed’ vax for use in pets.
There is no vaccine for Lyme that’s available to the public. Hopefully there will be one soon though. My wife and I have been volunteering for a Lyme vaccine trial for the past two years.
It’s probably a good general advice to ask your doctor for “local” vaccinations whenever you move.
The encephalitis vaccine is very common here in southern Germany, but usually skipped in the north where ticks are quite uncommon (which is reasonable, since it’s pretty aggressive, being sick for a day or two after the jab is not unlikely).
Get the vaccines if you can.
