Dengue Fever Vaccine
What is Dengue Fever?
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness caused by the dengue virus, transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes. It’s widespread in tropical and subtropical regions — especially in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Though Dengue is not transmitted person-to-person, a single infected mosquito can spread it to multiple individuals. As global travel increases, so does the risk. Making dengue fever vaccination a vital step in pre-travel preparation for UK residents.
