Dengue Fever Vaccination
The dengue fever vaccine helps protect against dengue, a viral infection spread by mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions.
It reduces the risk of severe illness and is recommended for travellers visiting areas where dengue is common.
What is Dengue Fever & How is it Spread?
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, mainly during daytime hours. It is found in tropical and subtropical regions, including:
-
Parts of Africa and Asia
-
Central and South America
-
The Caribbean
-
The Pacific Islands
-
Some southern areas of North America
There is also a seasonal risk of dengue fever in parts of southern Europe, particularly between spring and November.
Travellers visiting these areas are at increased risk of infection.
The dengue vaccine offers protection by reducing the chances of becoming seriously ill.
