Dengue (Qdenga)
IMPORTANT:
*** This vaccine is only for people who have previously had dengue infection ***
People who have never had dengue may be at risk of more severe illness if they become infected after receiving the vaccine. There is currently no evidence that the vaccine is safe for people who have never had dengue. For this reason, it is not recommended for people without a previous dengue infection.
Dengue fever is an illness spread by the bite of mosquitos infected with one of the dengue viruses. Symptoms are usually flu-like but can worsen to severe dengue (dengue hemorrhagic fever), a life-threatening condition.
