Don't Let Dengue Ruin Your Phuket Holiday

Phuket is a tropical destination where dengue fever remains a year-round health concern. Transmitted by infected mosquitoes, dengue can affect both tourists and residents, especially during the rainy season.

Fortunately, prevention is possible through mosquito protection measures and vaccination with Qdenga®, a vaccine designed to help protect against all four dengue virus strains.

What is Dengue Fever?

Dengue fever is a viral infection spread by Aedes mosquitoes, which are most active during daylight hours.
