About this vaccine
The dengue vaccine (Qdenga®) helps protect against dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by four types of dengue virus. Dengue can cause fever, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, rash, and in some cases serious complications such as bleeding, shock, or organ failure.
Why this test
- The vaccine helps prevent illness caused by dengue virus infection and reduces the risk of severe dengue and hospitalization.
Age group
- Indicated for individuals aged 4 to 60 years.
- Use in people over 60 years should be evaluated individually by a doctor, as data in this group are still limited.
- Not approved for children under 4 years of age.
Dosage Schedule
- Requires 2 doses
- The second dose is given three months after the first.
Medical Prescription
- A medical prescription is required to assess the individual's health history and ensure the vaccine is appropriate and safe.
- Our medical team will contact you to review your health history and, if appropriate, provide a medical order for your vaccination.

Side Effects
- Most reactions are mild and temporary, such as pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, headache, fatigue, muscle or joint pain, and mild fever.
- These symptoms usually appear within the first few days and go away on their own.
- If you experience high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, or bleeding, contact your doctor immediately.
