Although the absence of human Lyme disease vaccine in this country IS about money, the underlying cause is the negative publicity and activism of anti-vaccination groups, the legal system and the general low level of public scientific understanding. Politics and the perfect storm ended a decent vaccine.
Actually Lyme disease, particularly what is termed chronic Lyme disease, is a very political issue with its celebrity spokesmen and all that goes with it.
Probably a bit off topic but there is no scientific reason there is not a human vaccine and that is a shame.
