Examination and Lyme Disease Vaccine for Dogs 1 The Lyme disease vaccine helps prevent disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease organism. 2  However, the vaccine is not necessarily recommended for all dogs. 3  Ask your veterinarian if your dog should receive this vaccine.icks of the Ixodes species (called deer ticks) are known to transmit Lyme disease when they attach to a host and feed. Because the tick must be attached for more than 24 hours to transmit Lyme disease, frequent inspection for ticks (and quick removal) can reduce the risk of disease transmission.
