Norlys Perez/ReutersUntil recently, there wasn’t a widely available dengue vaccine for travelers.
But according to Dr. Nicky Longley, consultant in infectious diseases and travel medicine at The Hospital for Tropical Diseases (HTD) at University College London Hospitals, dengue vaccination is not quite the silver bullet travelers had hoped for.
One traveler who welcomes the arrival of the new Qdenga vaccine is UK-based travel writer Chris Dwyer.
Which vaccines do you need?
Adults are advised to keep a record of their immunizations and when they need to be boosted.
