Qdenga Vaccine

Qdenga Vaccine
Qdenga, Malaysia's first dengue vaccine, contains a weakened form of the dengue virus. These weakened versions do not cause illness but help the immune system "learn" to fight the virus. When the body is exposed to the actual virus in the future, the immune system can quickly recognise it, produce the necessary antibodies, and stop the virus from causing illness.

        Am I eligible for the vaccine if I’ve previously had a dengue infection?

        Yes, you are eligible to take the vaccine even after a prior dengue infection. However, the CDC advises waiting at least six months after recovering from the infection before getting vaccinated.

         

        Is it safe to receive the Qdenga vaccine during chemotherapy?

        The Qdenga vaccine is not recommended during chemotherapy due to the weakened state of the immune system. Currently, there is no established guideline on the ideal interval between chemotherapy and vaccination. It is important to consult your doctor to assess your specific condition and determine the safest timing for the vaccine.
