July 6, 2022 at 04:46 Will test vaccine against Lyme disease this autumn A vaccine against the tick disease Lyme disease can be expected in 2025, writes Yle. This autumn, the vaccine will be tested on several thousand people in six European countries. So far, researchers have conducted two phases of vaccine trials, where they have concluded that the vaccine appears to be safe, and that it provides a good immune response. The last phase starts in September. – We are in the starting pits for what is called a large phase 3 study where we will give the vaccine to a large group of volunteers. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people, where half get a real vaccine and half get a so-called placebo vaccine, a saline solution or similar, says professor of health sciences at Blekinge University of Technology Sanmartin Berglund. Today, there is only a vaccine against the TBE virus (tick-borne encephalitis).
