Another good question, and one that Pfizer had trouble getting past the 
FDA. There may be more problems from adverse effects of the vaccine than 
benefits from the widespread use of this vaccine. There is a vaccine 
because there is a market for the vaccine. If the decision was made on a 
cost benefit ratio regarding risk/benefit of the vaccine and incidence of 
Lyme, I think the vaccine would remain in the lab.
