Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that can cause serious long-
term symptoms if untreated. For people who live in areas where ticks are
common, a preventative vaccine would be better than current measures like
insect repellants and checking for ticks. This clinical trial will evaluate if an
investigational vaccine is safe and effective for preventing Lyme disease in people
five years and older. By choosing to volunteer, you will represent others
like you – in age, race, ethnicity and from communities like ours.
Who may participate:
Healthy children (between 5 years and 17 years) old and adults (18 years of age
and older) who live in places or participate in activities that increase their risk
for Lyme disease. Risk factors for Lyme include:
n
Outdoor occupations such as landscaping, forestry,
or wildlife and parks management
n
Frequent outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, camping,
fishing, hunting, or gardening
n
Living in or frequently visiting wooded areas, tree lines, tall grass,
open fields, lakesides, or riversides
n
Owning a pet that may return from outdoors with attached ticks
