The tl;dr is that in the US, vaccine manufacturers have no liability for the vaccines they produce and sell. Vaccine injury claims are heard without a jury, and paid out by a special fund which exists due to a per-dose tax on vaccines.
Vaccinations like the one for Lyme being made unavailable isn't a decision based on liability or risk so much as low demand.
