Lyme Vaccine Study:
What to expect
- If your child or teen is interested in participating, the study team may schedule a pre-study visit to determine if this study is a good fit for him/her.
- Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive the study vaccine or placebo (an injection that looks like the study vaccine but does not contain any active ingredients).
- Participants are 3 times more likely to receive the study vaccine than placebo. Participants, parents, and doctors will not know which has been assigned.
- Participants will receive 4 shots in the upper arm: 3 in the first 6 months, and a booster 1 year later.
- Participants will be enrolled for about 2 years, including 6 planned in-office visits and 2 follow-up phone calls.
- Participants may be reimbursed up to $1,276 for study-related expenses like travel.
