Dengue Vaccin

Dengue Vaccination: A Comprehensive Guide to the Vaccine, Efficacy, and Safety

Introduction

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide. The dengue virus has four distinct serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4), and infection with one serotype does not confer immunity to the others. Repeated infections with different serotypes can lead to severe dengue, which can be life-threatening.

A dengue vaccine has been developed to prevent infection with the dengue virus. The vaccine is safe and effective, and it can significantly reduce the risk of severe dengue. The vaccine is recommended for people who live in areas where dengue is common.
