Lyme is just one disease ticks spread. You really do not want your dog to have Ehrlichia either. Some cases can present serious symptoms, be challenging for a vet to diagnose and treat. This is particularly true when it is not known that the dog was exposed to a tick or when.
Mia, I am not aware of other vaccines for this. But I don’t know that I would use one either.
Good alternatives depend upon the area of the country you live in, what exposure and risk your dog faces.
Where I live, for both ticks and fleas, avoidance works well. Regular physical inspection head to toe of a dog’s body by an owner, regular grooming, is helpful for many health concerns.
