From all I know it is pretty hard to get over here, if you cannot prove you already had an infection. This is because the official recommendation seems to be against Qdenga for so called "Dengue-Natives".
While it technically makes sense it is also not a very practical policy since most primary infections are asymptomatic or mild. Since you most likely don't know if you already had it, your doctor doesn't know if you benefit from Qdenga and will most likely stick to the official recommendation.
- eru 3y agoAre you sure it's dengue-native, not dengue-naives?
- Sakos 3y agoDoesn't this only apply to Dengvaxia? I can't find anything that states that Qdenga should only be used with people who've already been infected before. I also can't find anything stating there's a risk of ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement) with Qdenga as there is with Dengvaxia, which would make such a limitation necessary. https://www.takeda.com/newsroom/newsreleases/2022/takedas-qdenga-dengue-tetravalent-vaccine-live-attenuated-approved-for-use-in-european-union/ https://www.takeda.com/newsroom/newsreleases/2022/takedas-qd... https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/qdenga https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/qdenga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhancement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhancement
