Lyme disease: to vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

摘要

I can understand why an owner in an endemic area for Borreliosis might ask their veterinarian to administer a Lyme vaccine to their dog. The owner may know about Lyme disease in humans and assume that Lyme disease in dogs may become just as serious or difficult to treat as in some humans. They may feel that Lyme disease is an even bigger threat in the canine world since dogs tend to get more tick bites than do humans.
