Is there really a new "flea" vaccination for pets, given every 6 mos....?

Hi,I did the following:

Is there really a new "flea" vaccination for pets, given every 6 mos....?...for approx. $ 50 ea. That would be awesome!!!
And, please comment on food allergies, yeast infections, and flea bite dermatitis and anyone's success stories. I'm also up for any home-brewed remedies. I use 50/50 Vinegar and H2O on both my Cat and Dog. The Vinegar seems to help the Skin infections as well.

In UK you can get something called 'Frontline' here, you put a dab on the back of the neck and it lasts for 6 months. You can get it for cats and dogs. It's not a vaccination more a vaccine, but effective

It isn't that new, but it sounds like you are thinking of Program. Typically given orally, or via injection every six months.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufenuron

Lufenuron is the active ingredient in the veterinary flea control medicine, Program, and the veterinary coformulation flea control, heartworm prevention, and anthelmintic medicine, Sentinel.

Lufenuron is stored in the animal's body fat and transferred to adult fleas through their bite. Adult fleas transfer it to their eggs by its presence in the mother flea's blood, or by the larva feeding on pre-digested blood.

Lufenuron, a benzoylurea pesticide, inhibits the production of chitin in larval fleas. Without chitin, a larval flea will never develop an exoskeleton. Attacking the ability to create chitin may make lufenuron an effective remedy against fungal infections, such as ringworm (a dermatophyte infection and not a worm at all).

It has no known toxic effects at any dosage on humans or other animals in the environment that do not depend on chitin, though the orally-administered pills can sometimes cause an upset stomach with acid reflux.

Lufenuron is also sold as a crop protection product (pesticide) by Syngenta for use against lepidoptera, eriophid mites, and Western flower thrips; it has approval in a number of countries for use on a variety of crops, including soybeans and maize.
