I just did a TON of research on this vaccine bc we're traveling in July to Minnesota, where it is endemic.

The efficacy of the Lyme vaccine is really poor - and it is one of the vaccines with the most reactions. I couldn't really find a single reputable opinion-leader online who thought this vaccine was really worth it. The published papers and the AAHA don't recommend it.

I decided to go w/ Preventic after several recommendations and reveiws about the collar.

What's nice about it is that the chemical isn't an insecticide. Rather, it is a neurotoxin to the tick.
