FP Report -- July 1999
AAFP has Lyme policy
The Academy has adopted a new policy on the Lyme disease vaccine, recommending that physicians consider the vaccine for patients at least 15 years old who are at high risk for B. burgdorferi infection. The policy is based on a recommendation from the AAFP Commission on Clinical Policies and Research's Working Group on Periodic Health Examination. It mirrors a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention policy, which was published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on June 4. To view the CDC policy, visit www.cdc.gov/mmwr on the World Wide Web.
