<![CDATA[Health care is America's top concern; FTC launches health care task force; Pfizer's Lyme Disease vaccine — Morning Medical Update Weekly Recap]]>
Summary: Healthcare is back to being the number one worry for Americans. People are very stressed about how much it costs and if they can get the care they need. Because of this, the government is starting a new team to fight high drug prices.
Also, Pfizer tested a new vaccine for Lyme disease that stops 70% of infections from tick bites. If approved, it will be the only Lyme vaccine you can get. The last one was taken away in 2002 because people panicked, even though it was completely safe.
