Dengue Vaccine's Ability to End the Dengue Virus's Cycle

Millions of individuals contract the virus known as dengue fever each year, which is mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Dengvaxia, the first dengue vaccine, got regulatory approval in 2015. The development of a dengue vaccine has taken decades.


The live attenuated vaccine known as Dengvaxia offers some protection against all four dengue virus serotypes. It is administered in three doses over a six-month period and has been shown to reduce the incidence of severe dengue in persons who have had the immunisation. Dengvaxia's safety has still come under scrutiny, notably from people who have never been exposed to dengue.


One of the many dengue vaccine possibilities that are also in various stages of investigation is a recombinant vaccine called TAK-003, which has shown promise in clinical testing. TAK-003 uses a modified dengue virus to elicit an immune response without causing illness


Vaccination protection against dengue


Depending on the vaccine's kind and the recipient's age, the dengue vaccine's efficacy varies. According to studies, the CYD-TDV vaccine prevents dengue infection in adults over the age of nine with a 60% success rate. Nevertheless, the vaccine's efficacy is lower in younger children, with children between the ages of two and five only receiving 34% protection. In children between the ages of four and sixteen, the TV003/TAK-003 vaccination has demonstrated 80% efficiency against severe dengue and 97% effectiveness against dengue-related hospitalisation.
