What it is
Dengue is a viral infection found in tropical and subtropical areas. Most people have no symptoms, but it can cause fever, muscle and joint pain, headache, nausea and rash, and severe illness is rare in travellers.
How it is caught
It is mainly spread by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, which bite mostly during the day.
Who it is advised for
A vaccine is available in the UK and can be considered for people aged 4 and over who have had dengue before and are travelling to an area with dengue risk. It may also be considered for people who have not had dengue, after discussion with an experienced travel health professional.
The vaccine course
The vaccine is a live vaccine and is not suitable for everyone, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a weakened immune system. The number of doses and timing are confirmed at your consultation, and a course started in the UK should not be finished with a different vaccine abroad.
