Still undergoing human trials, but it looks like it’ll be effective as a once a year dose that will protect against the disease.

Good. Wonder if our resident anti covid jabbers will also be anti this
Interesting. That could be really good for 'high risk' folk.
Once upon a time a vaccine did exist…

TL:DR
“ The complicated history of LYMErix™ provides important lessons. Although the FDA did not revoke the licence, the manufacturer withdrew the product amidst falling sales, extensive media coverage, and ongoing litigation, even though studies indicated the vaccine represented a cost-effective public health intervention for people at high risk of acquiring Lyme disease [23]. Although preliminary evidence supported LYMErix™ safety, product withdrawal precluded completion of more definitive studies. In the wake of the scientifically justified withdrawal of the rotavirus vaccine, LYMErix™ entered the market at a time of extremely low public tolerance for vaccine risk. Nonetheless, in the absence of a Lyme vaccine, the incidence of B. burgdorferi infection continues to be ∼20 000 case per year in the United States [3] with thousands of additional cases occurring globally. Physicians effectively treat the majority of these cases with antibiotics, although some cases have complicated courses. Low demand for the vaccine and its subsequent withdrawal from the market represent a loss of a powerful tool for Lyme disease prevention. Although the European vaccine manufacturer Baxter Vaccines has developed a new Lyme vaccine, which they are considering studying in clinical trials, the new vaccine must overcome considerable public aversion for this product to gain widespread global acceptance [38, 39]. As we ask how to weigh public health benefits of interventions against potential risks (notably incurred by identifiable individuals), the LYMErix™ case illustrates that media focus and swings of public opinion can pre-empt the scientific weighing of risks and benefits in determining success or failure.”
Its not a vaccine

Is this that vaccines are only for viruses thing or is it something more important?

I seem to recall their world view changed after having problems with diagnosis and treatment for Lyme disease, or am I mixing up 2 different people?

All depends. Is Bill Gates involved with it or could it be some worldwide government conspiracy?
