What is Dengue Fever and Why Get the Dengue Vaccination?

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. It often leads to symptoms like high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and, in some cases, severe complications like hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.

Dengue is currently the fastest-spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. It affects millions of people worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Asia, South America, and Africa.

The dengue vaccination is recommended for individuals travelling to countries where dengue fever is endemic. It is particularly advised for those with previous dengue infection, as they are at greater risk of severe illness upon reinfection.

At Winnersh Pharmacy & Clinic, we offer the dengue vaccination to help reduce your risk before travelling to high-risk areas. Our expert travel health team provides professional guidance and convenient appointments, so you can travel with confidence.

Dengue Fever

What is QDENGA® and How does it Work?

QDENGA® is a groundbreaking vaccine developed to protect against dengue fever, a potentially serious mosquito-borne illness caused by the dengue virus. Unlike other vaccines, QDENGA® is designed to protect against all four strains of the dengue virus (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), offering broad-spectrum protection for people living in or travelling to areas where dengue is common.

QDENGA® is a live-attenuated vaccine, which contains a weakened version of the virus that stimulates the immune system without causing the disease. When administered, the vaccine helps the body develop immunity against all four strains of the dengue virus. This immune response can significantly reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation in case of infection.

Why Choose QDENGA®?

  • Broad Protection: QDENGA® is the first dengue vaccine that protects against all four dengue virus serotypes.
  • Proven Safety and Efficacy: Clinical trials have demonstrated the vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing dengue fever and reducing the severity of the disease.
