Vaccination contre la dengue
Un vaccin contre la dengue, Qdenga®, vient d'être validé par SwissMedic.
Toutefois, sur la base des données disponibles et conformément aux recommandations de l'OMS, le Comité d'experts suisse pour la médecine des voyages (CEMV) ne recommande actuellement la vaccination avec Qdenga® qu'aux voyageurs ayant déjà été infectés par la dengue par le passé et séjournant dans des régions où la transmission de dengue est élevée.
