UN agency authorizes second vaccine against dengue amid outbreaks in the Americas
GENEVA — The World Health Organization on Wednesday authorized a second dengue vaccine, a move that could provide protection for millions worldwide against the mosquito-borne disease that has already sparked numerous outbreaks across the Americas this year.
Takeda’s dengue vaccine, known as Qdenga, was previously given the nod by the European Medicines Agency in 2022. Studies have shown Takeda’s vaccine is about 84% effective in preventing people from being hospitalized with dengue and about 61% effective in stopping symptoms. The first vaccine WHO approved was made by Sanofi Pasteur, which was later found to increase the risk of severe dengue in people who had not previously been infected with the disease.
