Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I understand a vaccine to prevent Lyme disease is in the works, but I wonder when it’ll be available. We’ve had multiple tick bites in our family, with some that resulted in Lyme disease. While I appreciate that our dog receives a vaccine and monthly anti-tick prevention, we’re long overdue for prevention for humans. Your thoughts are appreciated. -- K.L.
