Dengue Fever Prevention in Phuket: Protect Yourself with Qdenga Vaccine

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.

Benefits of Qdenga

  • Protection against all four dengue strains
  • Helps reduce the risk of severe dengue
  • Helps reduce hospitalization rates
  • No pre-vaccination blood test required
  • Suitable for both travelers and long-term residents

Vaccination Schedule

The vaccination course consists of:
Dose 1 – Day of vaccination
Dose 2 – 3 months later

For short-term travelers, the first dose may still provide valuable protection during their stay, while the second dose can be completed later.

Even after vaccination, mosquito protection remains important.
