About the Dengue Fever Vaccination

When should you get it?

May be considered for travellers to dengue-risk areas, particularly those who've had dengue before or who have longer or repeated exposure. We assess suitability individually.

Vaccine schedule

Two doses given three months apart, so plan ahead.

Booster requirements

Booster guidance is still developing — we'll advise based on the latest recommendations.

How it's given

Two injections, three months apart. Bite avoidance remains essential.

How long does protection last?

The vaccine provides multi-year protection; long-term data is still being gathered.

Possible side effects

Usually mild — headache, muscle aches or a sore arm.

Who should not have it?

Not suitable if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or immunocompromised. We check your history carefully.

Risk if you contract dengue

Dengue causes high fever, severe aches and, in some cases, dangerous complications. There's no specific cure, so prevention through bite avoidance and, for some, vaccination matters.
