Does the Qdenga Dengue Vaccine effectively protect against all stereotypes of the dengue virus, or are there limitations to its efficacy based on factors like age, prior exposure, or other considerations?

Hello and thank you for your question.
The Dengue vaccine is designed to protect against the four stereotypes of the dengue virus (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), which are the main types known to cause dengue fever. However, it’s important to note that the vaccine may vary in its effectiveness against each stereotype and might not offer complete protection against all of them.
Additionally, the efficacy of the vaccine can vary based on factors such as the age of the individual receiving it and their prior exposure to dengue. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations regarding vaccination and protection against dengue fever.
If you have further questions about dengue fever or the vaccine, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for personalised advice and guidance.
