Brief Summary:

The main purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) for prevention of Lyme disease within North America and Europe. Approximately 18,000 healthy participants 5 years and older will be recruited from areas with high levels of endemic Lyme disease to receive VLA15 or placebo (an inactive substance consisting of saltwater). Each participant will have about a 50% chance of receiving VLA15 and about a 50% chance of receiving placebo. A subset of participants will receive VLA15 from 3 different lots or placebo (1:1:1:3 ratio) to assess lot equivalence.

Participants will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination series at about 0, 2, and 5 to 9 months and then receive a booster dose about 12 months later. Vaccination of participants will occur at a time of year such that the primary series is completed before the peak Lyme disease season followed by a booster dose just prior to the beginning of the second Lyme disease season.

Comparison will be made between the Lyme disease cases of people receiving the study vaccine to those of the people who are not. This will help us determine if the study vaccine is safe and effective.

If enrolled, participants will need to visit the research site at least 7 times during the study. There will also be at least 1 telephone contact. It is expected that each participant will take part in this study for up to about 2 and a half years.

Primary Outcome Measures:
1. Relative risk reduction of confirmed Lyme disease cases in the VLA15 group compared to the placebo group
[ Time Frame: In the Lyme disease season beginning 1 month after completing the primary series (28 days after completion of the primary series until 31 October) ]

A confirmed case of Lyme disease, caused by B burgdorferi sensu lato, is defined as a clinically suspected case of Lyme disease that is confirmed by PCR, culture, microbial cell-free B burgdorferi-specific DNA sequencing, or serological antiborrelial antibody assay, and finally assessed and confirmed to be a case by the Endpoint Adjudication Committee
2. Relative risk reduction of confirmed Lyme disease cases in the VLA15 group compared to the placebo group
[ Time Frame: In the Lyme disease season beginning 1 month after receiving the booster dose (28 days after completion of the booster dose until 31 October) ]

A confirmed case of Lyme disease, caused by B burgdorferi sensu lato, is defined as a clinically suspected case of Lyme disease that is confirmed by PCR, culture, microbial cell-free B burgdorferi-specific DNA sequencing, or serological antiborrelial antibody assay, and finally assessed and confirmed to be a case by the Endpoint Adjudication Committee
3. Percentage of participants reporting prompted local reactions
[ Time Frame: Within 7 days following each study intervention administration ]

4. Percentage of participants reporting prompted systemic events
[ Time Frame: Within 7 days following each study intervention administration ]

5. Percentage of participants reporting adverse events (AEs)
[ Time Frame: Through 1 month following each study intervention administration ]

6. Percentage of participants reporting newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions (NDCMCs)
[ Time Frame: Through study completion, up to approximately 30 months. ]

7. Percentage of participants reporting serious adverse events (SAEs)
[ Time Frame: Through study completion, up to approximately 30 months. ]

8. Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of anti-OspA titers for each serotype (ST1-ST6) for Lot 1 to Lot 2
[ Time Frame: At 1 month after completion of the primary series ]

9. Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of anti-OspA titers for each serotype (ST1-ST6) for Lot 1 to Lot 3
[ Time Frame: At 1 month after completion of the primary series ]

10. Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of anti-OspA titers for each serotype (ST1-ST6) for Lot 2 to Lot 3
[ Time Frame: At 1 month after completion of the primary series ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
