VietNam to test Japanese dengue vaccine

According to the Viet Nam Medical Association, Viet Nam will test the efficacy of a Japanese produced vaccine against dengue fever to create immunity for people amid a rising number of dengue infections throughout the country.

The vaccine has initially proved effective in preventing all four serotypes of dengue. Because the injection dose is the same for both adults and children, it is necessary to carefully test and evaluate their impact on human health before widely applying it to the community.
