Manufactured by SmithKline Beecham Biologicals, LYMErix was proven safe and effective in the prevention of both definite Lyme disease and asymptomatic infection. LYMErix received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December,
10 News Nature Medicine 8, (2002) Poor sales trigger vaccine withdrawal Emma Hitt Atlanta Poor sales have prompted GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to withdraw its Lyme disease vaccine, LYMErix, from the United States market. Lawsuits relating to adverse effects of the vaccine have been filed since its introduction, but the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found no proof that LYMErix is dangerous. Importantly, the move shows that even though the global vaccine market is expected to increase by 25% within the next five years, vaccine manufacturers are not immune to financial forces, which signals a troubled future for new vaccines against rare diseases, such as West Nile virus and Ebola if they complete development.
