Can I receive a different dengue vaccine between doses of another dengue vaccine?

Hello Dr, I took my dengue vaccination a few months ago, and now I’ve heard about a new dengue vaccine and I am thinking of changing my dengue vaccination. Would it be okay for me to receive a different dengue vaccine between doses of another dengue vaccine?

Hello and thank you for your question.

Each dengue vaccine has its own formulation, efficacy profile, and dosing schedule, which could potentially interact in unpredictable ways if used interchangeably.

If you’ve received one dose of a dengue vaccine and are considering switching to a different dengue vaccine for subsequent doses, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider. They can offer personalized advice based on your medical history, vaccination status, and the latest evidence available on dengue vaccine effectiveness and safety.

Healthcare providers and public health authorities typically follow established vaccination guidelines and recommendations, which are based on scientific evidence and regulatory approvals. Therefore, any decision to receive a different dengue vaccine between doses of another dengue vaccine should be made in consultation with healthcare professionals and guided by current public health guidelines.
