Hello and thank you for your question.
Clinical studies have shown that Qdenga can provide protection against dengue fever caused by multiple virus serotypes. However, no vaccine provides 100% protection, and breakthrough infections can still occur in some vaccinated individuals.
Overall, Qdenga has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the risk of dengue fever in vaccinated individuals to up to 80.9%. It is essential to follow the recommended vaccination schedule and continue taking preventive measures against mosquito bites, as no single intervention can guarantee complete protection against dengue virus infection.
I recommend consulting with healthcare providers and adhering to vaccination guidelines can help maximize the benefits of Qdenga in preventing dengue fever. You can also make an appointment with DoctorOnCall.
