I had dengue once. Fever was something else! Since then I've been scared shitless that there are 3 other major variants remaining and if the next time is one of those 3 I am most probably cooked. There are no vaccines here yet either.
- greenavocado 1mo agoIs that the one where the degree of immunity is negative post infection
- wbl 1mo agoYup. But OP is now eligible for a vaccine!

- crossroadsguy 1mo agoI just looked up and my country approved its first dengue vaccine last month. Maybe I should enquire about it :D
- crossroadsguy 1mo agoIf you mean the specific strain then I do not know which one it was (I ). But yeah if I get bitten by another dengue strain then the immunity works against me. So (afaik; roughly speaking) I have ≈100% immunity against my strain and sort of negative immunity against the rest three. I just looked up my test report from years ago and it just says NS1 rapid antigen test and that one doesn't find which of DENV-1(-2, -3, -4) it was.

- rikschennink 1mo agoGot it as well a couple years ago, it was no joke. :/ Luckily we could get vaccinated a year later. If you’ve had it and catch another variant mortality rate jumps to 10%. But usually those variants don’t overlap, it’s region based.
