Protection against dengue fever for travellers visiting regions where mosquito-borne infections are common.
Dengue is a viral infection spread by infected mosquitoes, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. It can cause flu-like illness and, in some cases, more severe complications.
Dengue is transmitted through bites from infected Aedes mosquitoes, which are active mainly during the daytime, particularly in early morning and late afternoon hours when biting activity is highest.
Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, rash, and extreme fatigue. In some cases, symptoms can become more serious and require medical care.
Dengue is found in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Risk increases during rainy and humid seasons when mosquito populations are higher.
Vaccination can reduce the risk of infection in eligible individuals, and is most effective when combined with strict mosquito bite prevention measures such as repellents and protective clothing.

Helpful information about dengue fever and the Qdenga vaccine.
Qdenga is a vaccine that helps protect against dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral illness found in many tropical and subtropical countries.
It provides protection against all four dengue virus serotypes, helping reduce the risk of infection and severe illness in exposed regions.
The vaccine is given as a three-dose course over a 12-month period to build full and lasting protection.
It is recommended to begin at least 4 weeks before travel, although earlier completion is ideal for full protection.
It is suitable for travellers visiting dengue-endemic regions, especially those with repeated exposure or extended stays in high-risk countries.
Some people may experience mild effects such as injection site soreness, headache, fatigue, or mild fever, which usually settle quickly.
Book your dengue vaccination and get expert travel health advice before your trip.
