A vaccine against Lyme disease is now being tested in Sweden, for the first time ever. A new vaccine will probably be on the market within a couple of years, says Johan Sanmartin Berglund, Professor of applied health technology at Blekinge Institute of Technology.
Not all ticks carry Lyme disease, but about 20 per cent do. Every year over 10,000 people contract Lyme disease in Sweden and a vaccine would be welcome.
