APPROVED FOR
Persons 9–45 years of age living in highly dengue endemic regions of Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, and El Salvador. WHO SAGE recommends vaccine use in places with high dengue endemicity (seroprevalence ≥ 70% in the age group targeted) TYPE
DENGUE VIRUS
A recombinant chimeric live attenuated tetravalent vaccine MOLECULAR TARGETS
The envelope protein of all four dengue viruses CELLULAR TARGETS
The vaccine induces antibodies to each of the four dengue virus serotypes. EFFECTS ON TARGETS
Envelope (E) protein
Neutralizing antibodies bind to epitopes on the E protein to inactivate the virus and to prevent viral entry. Incomplete or partially neutralizing antibodies can assist viral entry into monocytes and macrophages through the Fcγ receptor (antibody-mediated enhancement of infection).
Dengvaxia is the first licensed vaccine for the prevention of dengue. It is a live vaccine developed using recombinant DNA technology. The vaccine is given as three doses over the course of a year and has the potential to prevent hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations each year.
