WHO approves first-ever dengue vaccine
by Ted Andersen in Geneva
(sundayobserver.lk) The painful and sometimes deadly mosquito-borne disease is on the rise, but a new vaccine could help the most vulnerable populations
Dengue vaccine: US develops new completely effective vaccine - msg.com
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday endorsed the world's first-ever vaccine for dengue fever, a potentially deadly mosquito-borne virus that threatens to infect close to half of the world's population.
Unlike malaria, there is no established cure for dengue fever, which can cause severe nausea, bone pain, headaches, rashes, bleeding and even death. The virus can last for up to 10 days. About 390 million people are infected by dengue each year in some 120 countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Known as Dengvaxia, the vaccine is the product of two decades of research by French-based Sanofi Pasteur. Four countries-Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador and the Philippines-have already licensed Dengvaxia, but Friday's recommendation is likely to spur a host of other developing nations to follow, at a time when climate change and urbanisation is putting increasing numbers of people at risk from the mosquito-borne disease. "In countries where dengue is endemic, it's one of the most feared diseases," says Dr. In-Kyu Yoon, director of the Dengue Vaccine Initiative, an international consortium that has partnered with Sanofi. "The trajectory globally is increasing-at this point it's essentially a pandemic."
The vaccine is given in three injections, spaced out over one year. It is designed for those over the age of nine who have been previously exposed to the virus and is best suited for people in endemic areas, as opposed to short-term travellers, according to Dr. Alain Bouckanooge, Associate Vice President of clinical research and development at Sanofi's division in Thailand.
