About the Dengue Vaccine
A multi-dose course built for people who travel to higher-risk regions often
Built for Repeat Travellers
Dengue spreads through mosquito bites and turns up right across Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Africa and the Pacific Islands. Qdenga is the vaccine we use — a live attenuated jab covering all four dengue serotypes, given as a course rather than a one-off. Start the course 4 weeks or more before your first trip so you're properly covered by the time you fly.

Plan Ahead
Get started 4+ weeks before you first travel so immunity has time to build.

Wide Destination Coverage
Relevant for trips to Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, the Caribbean and beyond.
The Basics on Dengue
A tropical mosquito-borne illness that's been climbing in city areas as much as rural ones
Aedes Mosquitoes
Unlike malaria mosquitoes, these bite during the day and thrive in built-up, urban settings.
Fever, Aches, Rash
Symptoms mimic flu — high fever, pounding headache, joint and muscle pain, and a visible rash.
Genuinely Global
Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Africa and the Pacific all report cases.
Cuts Your Risk
Completing the vaccine course meaningfully lowers your odds before travel.
Second Infections Hit Harder
If you've had dengue before, a repeat infection can actually be worse than the first. Combined with age or a weakened immune system, that makes vaccination and mosquito bite avoidance both worth taking seriously.
Who Should Consider It
Two groups where this vaccine tends to matter most
Repeat & Long-Stay Travellers
If Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, or Central or South America is a regular or extended stop on your itinerary, this is worth the investment.
- Frequent return trips to affected regions
- Long-stay or work postings abroad
- Family holidays to the same destination
Anyone Who's Had Dengue Before
Worth a conversation with our pharmacist if you've been infected previously — reinfection carries more risk, not less.
- Previous dengue diagnosis
- Children from age 4 upwards
- Weakened immune systems

Common Questions
No — Qdenga is given as a course. We'll set out exactly how many appointments you need at your first visit.
At least 4 weeks before you first travel — earlier if you can, since the full course takes time. This matters more if you're a frequent or long-stay traveller.
Depends on your destination, how often you go, and your own risk factors. Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Africa and the Pacific all see cases — tell us your plans and we'll advise properly.
Several years once you've completed the full course. Longer-term data is still coming in, so exact duration isn't fully settled yet.
Soreness, redness or swelling where the needle went in is common, and sometimes a mild fever, headache, tiredness or muscle aches for a day or two. Paracetamol usually sorts it.
