เพิ่มภูมิคุ้มกัน ลดการป่วยรุนแรง ด้วยวัคซีนไข้เลือดออก

<p><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Dengue Fever</strong></span> is a disease caused by infection with the <span style="color: #00826a;"><strong><em>‘Dengue virus’</em></strong></span>, which is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, especially female Aedes mosquitoes that feed during the daytime. People bitten by Aedes mosquitoes carrying the dengue virus may become infected. Infected individuals may have no symptoms or mild fever symptoms, up to developing dengue fever, which includes high fever and plasma leakage that can lead to shock and death. Additionally, bleeding symptoms and complications in various organs such as the brain or liver may occur.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Currently, in Thailand, there is one registered dengue vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration, marketed under the name Dengvaxia® with a schedule of 3 doses at 0, 6, and 12 months. It is recommended for individuals aged between 9-45 years. This vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine that does not cause disease but can stimulate immunity. The vaccine can effectively boost immunity in those who have previously been infected with the dengue virus.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">If Allergic to Mosquitoes, Should You Get the Dengue Vaccine?</span><strong><span style="color: #00826a;"><br />
</span></strong></h2>
<p>Mosquito allergy and dengue fever are not the same, except for patients at risk of dengue fever. In cases of mosquito allergy, consult a doctor to consider taking antihistamines or using topical medication.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Can You Still Get Dengue Fever After Vaccination?<strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Dengue vaccination does not provide 100% protection against dengue fever but covers all 4 dengue virus serotypes. Since the effectiveness against each serotype varies, there is still a chance of getting dengue fever, but the symptoms and severity will be milder than usual.</span></p>

<p>Mothers can breastfeed as usual.</p>

The dengue vaccine is administered in 3 doses at 0, 6, and 12 months. Although the dengue vaccine cannot provide 100% protection against the disease, the symptoms and severity in patients will be less than usual.
