Isn't there a vaccine for Lyme disease, but it's only approved for use in animals because some people got scared when it initially got introduced and got it banned without any scientific reason to do so?

Yes. It was called LYMErix and is still available for use as a veterinary medicine. There is also a new vaccine being proposed by Valneva (a European biotech company) that will hopefully not meet with the save irrational fate.

Lymerix. A lawsuit was filed and the manufacturer pulled it off the market.
