dengue vaccine

The dengue vaccine is a medical shot that helps protect people from dengue fever, a disease caused by a virus transmitted through mosquito bites. It works by teaching the immune system to recognize and fight the virus, reducing the risk of severe illness. The vaccine is typically given in multiple doses and is most effective in people who have already been exposed to the virus once. It’s especially useful in areas where dengue is common. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to determine if the vaccine is suitable, as it’s not recommended for everyone.
