Lyme disease vaccine (recombinant ospa) Intramuscular and Metaglip

• Generic Name: lyme disease vaccine
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names:

Lyme disease vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent infection by Lyme disease bacteria. It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the bacteria.

Lyme disease causes rash, fever, weakness, and joint and muscle pain. The disease is caused by bacteria passed to humans by the bite of infected ticks.

The risk of getting tick-borne infections can be lessened by such precautions as wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, tucking pants into socks, treating clothing with tick repellent, and checking for and removing attached ticks.

Lyme disease vaccine (recombinant ospa) is no longer commercially available.
