Dengvaxia is a vaccine used to help protect you or your child against
dengue disease caused by
dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4. Dengvaxia is given to adults,
adolescents and children 9 through
45 years of age living in endemic areas.
Dengvaxia contains dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4 that have been

Dengue disease results in a wide range of symptoms including fever,
