Dengue is transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause high fever, severe headache, muscle pain, and in some cases serious complications.The dengue vaccine is approved for people aged 4–60 who live in or travel to areas where dengue is common. It is given in two doses, three months apart, and provides long-lasting protection against the disease.

How the vaccination works
A dengue vaccine is available for those who live in, or are planning to travel to, areas where the disease is common. The vaccine can help reduce the risk of infection, severe illness, and the need for hospital care. At VaccinDirekt, we help you determine whether vaccination is suitable for you before your trip.
Who should get vaccinated?
People who live in or are traveling to areas with a high risk of dengue.
People who have previously had a dengue infection, especially if they frequently spend time in risk areas.
The vaccine is not recommended for
People with severely weakened immune systems.
People with known allergies to any of the vaccine’s components.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are generally advised not to get vaccinated.
You are always welcome to consult our nurses for personal advice.
When should you get vaccinated?
Get vaccinated well ahead of your trip. The vaccination consists of two doses given three months apart. To ensure full protection, you should start vaccination at least three months before departure. We recommend booking even earlier to allow time for consultation and any additional travel vaccines.
Why it’s important to get vaccinated against dengue
Dengue fever spreads rapidly and is now one of the world’s most common mosquito-borne diseases. For travelers to risk areas, vaccination is the best way to reduce the risk of both illness and serious complications. At VaccinDirekt, you’ll receive reliable advice and the right protection before your trip.
Dengue – a rapidly spreading viral disease
Dengue fever is transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions and is now one of the world’s most common mosquito-borne infections. The disease is present in over 100 countries, with millions of cases reported each year. Climate change and increased travel are also contributing to its spread into new areas – including parts of Europe.
Vaccination is the only reliable protection
There is no cure for dengue. Treatment only relieves symptoms, and in severe cases hospital care is often required. Vaccination, along with preventive measures against mosquito bites, is therefore the only way to reduce the risk of illness.
When dengue becomes severe
Most people experience fever and flu-like symptoms, but the disease can develop into severe dengue, which can be life-threatening. In such cases, the body may suffer from internal bleeding, organ damage, and shock.
Many underestimate the risk
It’s easy to think that dengue fever only occurs in distant parts of the world, but the disease is present in several popular travel destinations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Many travelers underestimate the risk and fail to get vaccinated in time.
